Deadlock has been in early access since it was initially released in August of 2024, but now, nearly a year later, many are wondering when Valve’s MOBA hero shooter will make its move to an Open Beta. Here’s everything we know about Deadlock’s release date timeline and when fans can hope to expect an Open Beta from this game.
Recently, Deadlock has had even more buzz around a potential Open Beta release than ever before. This is thanks, in part, to a leak that showed off hero redesigns and new heroes, which confirms that Valve has a more locked-down and secret build of the game for playtesters and content creators. With this information now on the table, what does that mean for Deadlock’s near future?
For many, it means that an Open Beta could be near. However, at this time, there is no information suggesting that Valve will move Deadlock to an Open Beta anytime soon. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen, as this new content could be built around a big push for an Open Beta release. With the start of the summer nearly here, this could be a great time to make a splash for Deadlock.

Many in the community, like Metro, are waiting each day for a patch to drop and put this new build of Deadlock into play and with player count dropping and the leak providing some newfound excitement for the game, a new patch may very well be on the horizon.
