Deadlock’s Next Major Update Is Dropping Next Week
Deadlock fans finally got another update about the highly anticipated major patch arriving soon. Despite community rumors that the patch was supposed to drop yesterday, developer Yoshi suddenly dropped new info today, stating that the patch will arrive next week.
New Deadlock Patch Hints
With confirmation that the next major Deadlock patch is dropping next week, the fan base is naturally ecstatic. Long-time speculation suggests this update will bring another round of brand-new characters for the community to vote on every week. In addition, another long-standing rumor is that this update might drop a brand-new PvE mode, which stems from the Unstable Rift update.
Either way, Yoshi has said the new update will ship next week, and it won’t drop on Monday. This makes the likely candidates either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Lastly, some hints about the upcoming patch are starting to surface. One that players can see if they log in today is that the painting above the fireplace in the lobby has glowing red eyes again. This could tie to either the patch theme or one of the new heroes arriving.
