The video game industry uses the term "going gold" to signify that a game is complete and ready to ship.
When a studio announces that its game has gone gold, it's a sure sign that the game will release on time. We say "sign" because there is always outliers.
In the case of Arkane Studios' Deathloop, it's scheduled to launch on September 1, and because Deathloop has now gone gold, there is no stopping the PS5-exclusive from releasing on time.
It looks like we're finally getting our hands on Deathloop
The COVID-19 pandemic affected hundreds of industries around the globe. The video game industry was not spared. Even if the nature of making video games allowed sp,e studios to shift to Work From Home (WFH) schemes, the pandemic still had a huge impact on the development of big games. One of those that felt its effects the most was Deathloop.
