Deadlock Explodes Past 303K Players After Violet’s Release

Deadlock’s popularity is clearly on the rise! Ever since Solomon arrived, Valve’s latest game has seen two massive player spikes following the release of two new heroes this week. First, Deadman Danny took the spotlight, and now Violet is pushing the game to even greater heights.

The City’s Waking Up

Thanks to the City Never Sleeps update, Deadlock is finally getting its time in the spotlight. The closed-beta third-person FPS MOBA continues to attract more players, with each new hero bringing another surge of interest. Violet’s release pushed the game’s peak player count to 303,347 yesterday, beating Team Fortress 2’s all-time peak of 253,997 by an impressive 49,350 players.

And the hype isn’t slowing down just yet! With Nurse Harrow set to arrive next week, all eyes are on the sixth and final hero of the City Never Sleeps update. Will her release push Deadlock’s player count even higher? Only time will tell, but the game is already enjoying an incredible run.

Either way, City Never Sleeps has been a massive win for both the developers and the community. With new heroes continuing to draw players in and interest reaching new heights, the future of Deadlock is looking brighter than ever.
