Deadlock developers have said that a January Major Update is the goal, but what exactly is coming in this update, and when will it go live? Here’s everything we know so far about when to expect the update, including leaks and rumors suggesting some potential delays.
Release Date & New Hero Leaks
Right now, we do not have a confirmed date for the Deadlock January Update from developers. However, a source close to the game’s development server suggests that the update may be far from being finalized, with some of the currently in-progress Heroes seeing some potential major overhauls.
According to Deadlock leaker,
minesweeper, an in-development Hero named REM has an entirely new Ultimate than
what we have previously reported on, and that
the Deadlock January Update should be expected closer to the end of the month.

New Heroes, New Names
As mentioned, Deadlock is likely to get several new Heroes in the game’s next Major Update. However, some have reportedly had their names changed. Here are all of the new Heroes we are expecting, and what names we anticipate they will go under, based on recent leaks.
- Venator has been renamed to Quinn
- Fencer has been renamed to Apollo
- Pepper has been renamed to Celeste
- Silver
- REM
- Graves
This has been reported on by
Deadlock Project 8
and has been confirmed to the author by other sources. However, it may be that some, all, or even additional Heroes may be added to the game’s live server in the next update, but we believe these six are most likely to be ready.
