Deadlock's Recent Update Introduces Six Experimental Heroes

New Heroes, Name Changes, and Skill Sharing

Deadlock, Valve's highly anticipated MOBA shooter, has consistently ranked among Steam's most-wished-for games since its mid-2024 launch. The recent "10-24-2024" update is a major milestone, introducing six new playable heroes.

These new heroes—Calico, Fathom (previously known as Slork), Holliday (also referred to as Astro in skill descriptions), Magician, Viper, and Wrecker—are currently exclusive to the Hero Sandbox mode. They are not yet available in standard or ranked PvP matches. While their skill sets are complete, some abilities are temporary placeholders, using existing skills from other heroes. For instance, Magician's ultimate ability is a copy of Paradox's Paradoxical Swap.
