I'm sad Deadlock is 'just' a MOBA — I want more of Valve's world

I have a love-hate relationship with MOBAs, but Deadlock—after its new Old Gods, New Blood update—has dragged me back to the genre kicking and screaming. I've got over 2,400 hours in Dota 2 from my misspent uni years, and I'm currently sitting on 183 hours with Valve's latest and counting.
Deadlock might be one of my favourite videogame settings in a while. It's set in a fantastical 1950s America where the Maelstrom opened Astral Gates across the world, including one above New York called the Cursed Apple, and where two patrons are trying to manifest fully on this magic-flooded planet.
