Rumor: The Deadlock January Update will Release in Two Patches

There has been endless speculation about the next Major Update coming to Deadlock, which is slated to feature a long line of new features and content to the game, if recent leaks are to be believed.

From what we have covered, according to our own sources and other trusted Deadlock sources, we believe all of the following additions to be coming to Deadlock’s live server in the near future. With this list ever-growing, multiple updates may be necessary from a developer standpoint.

• 6 New Heroes
• Street Brawl game mode (ARAM style)
• New Hero Portraits
• Significant Map art update
• New Bases, Patrons, and Shrines
• New Troopers and Walkers
• and much more!

However, Deadlock’s lead developer, Yoshi, has still reassured players that the patch will go live in January, so fans should still expect some new additions to the game in the coming weeks, even if it’s not everything we’ve covered thus far.

Keep in mind, many of these are leaks and unconfirmed rumors and may be subject to change or simply represent a work-in-progress state. If anything changes, we will update this article or report on new news entirely – stay tuned!
