Impasse gamers have found an in-progress new hero named Slork, who appears to be like like a half-man, half-shark—or presumably only a man carrying a bizarre skeletal shark costume.
The Impasse Intel Twitter feed described Slork as “tremendous unfinished,” however offered a rundown of his talents as they at present stand. Riptide bounces enemies up into the air with the bonus of ricocheting off partitions for extra mayhem. Deep’s Embrace seems to be a type of watery defend, and Ambush Predator makes you Slork briefly invisible and sooner for a number of seconds earlier than ending with an assault. Chomp is just about self-explanatory.

Some observant followers additionally observed Slork’s bodily similarity to Slark, a Dota 2 character with a equally stealth-focused strategy to gameplay. Redditor tgiyb1 mentioned on the Impasse subreddit that Slork “just about appears to be Slark from Dota however with everlasting invisibility tied to his ult (he additionally will get large passive hp regen whereas invis just like Slark’s ult).” On condition that, and the title, I would not be shocked to see some connective tissue between the 2 within the Impasse lore, assuming Slork finally ends up a accomplished and launched character—by no means a certain factor with regards to Valve.
Whereas we clearly do not know a lot about Slork at this level, he has impressed appreciable dialog right here within the hallowed halls of PC Gamer:
