When will Deadlock add new heroes? Major Update predictions

Deadlock continues in early access, but having made a Major Update to the game’s shop and map, the question has now become, “When will Deadlock add new heroes?”

Let’s take a look at our best guess, based on some speculation and what may be an early forming pattern for Deadlock Major Updates.

Deadlock new heroes could release in July

Deadlock has had several new heroes leak since an image was shared on Deathy’s stream on May 1, 2025. Since then, we have had a plethora of leaks, showing off new hero ultimates, art reworks, and so much more.

In the video below, I speculate about the timeline for Deadlock’s soon-to-be Major Hero Update, which I predict will follow the same 8-9 week release timeline as the Shop and Map updates did.
