Après avoir passé des années à passer plus de temps à chercher des financements qu'à développer leur jeu, les développeurs d'Interstellar Marines commencent enfin à inverser la tendance grâce à l'accès anticipé de Steam. Zero Point Software vient donc de rajouter un mode de jeu intitulé « Deadlock », ajouté avec la dernière mise à jour du titre (update 11). Dans ce mode de jeu par équipe annoncé comme tactique, vous devrez capturer et contrôler 7 points de contrôle dans le niveau.

Ce mode de jeu est accompagné d'une nouvelle carte (Stronghold) et d'une nouvelle arme (AR 03 Assault Rifle avec une lunette 4x ACOG)

La liste complète des changements se trouve dans la suite de la nouvelle.
