Valve assures Deadlock players hungry for its next big update that it will notify them, ‘or order a ton of pizza’, when it’s ready

Deadlock, a hybrid MOBA-shooter in pseudo-early access, has generated significant anticipation among players. The recent Old Gods, New Blood update introduced six new heroes and other enhancements. Valve hinted at a large content update and two smaller updates focused on ranked mode and item adjustments. However, a communication from developer representative Yoshi indicated delays in the anticipated update due to playtesting and iteration processes. Despite being invite-only, Deadlock has evolved over the past year, with signs pointing toward a potential transition to open beta. The development team is responsive to community feedback, suggesting a commitment to the game's future.
