Valve continue building up their new game Deadlock with a big update with six new heroes

Valve developers are still working on their upcoming game Deadlock, a third-person MOBA and the latest update is a pretty big one.

There’s still no word on a release date, likely as they had to announce it earlier than they wanted to due to all the repeated leaks but work is ongoing on it regularly. You also still need to be invited by someone else with access. Despite all that, it has been seeing over 10,000 concurrent players regularly.

This new update adds in six new heroes, although Valve are doing a staggered release of each with a new one unlocking each day over the week.

A big new addition is also The Hideout. Giving you a private area to mess about in while you’re waiting on a match. You can invite friends to yours or join others, and Valve said it will provide “future opportunities for personalization, achievements, and events”.

This Hideout gives you access to various game functions along with a practice range to test movement and abilities without needing to load into the Sandbox.

Valve also updated the game map with “various visual improvements and lighting changes” and promises “a lot more map improvements planned in upcoming updates”.
