About Deadlock updates
Valve ships Deadlock updates on an irregular cadence, ranging from minor balance patches to major hero reworks and new content drops. Because the game is still in active early development, significant changes are common — hero kits, item stats, and map layout all shift between builds.
This page mirrors the official Deadlock Steam community hub announcements — every entry links back to the original Valve post.

Solomon remains calm and collected when facing a new challenger, so when the Patrons come calling, he approaches the city as if it's one giant chessboard. With Setup Bishop he advances, planting his loyal damage dealers ahead of him and sliding them across the streets with ease. Kingside Knight comes into play when it's time for defense, granting protection to allies and making tactical retreats when needed. Rook Battery charges forward with great force, stalling enemies in their tracks. And with his final move, Develop Queen, he locks down his enemies in an ultimate checkmate. - "There's a lot you can learn from losing to a master."
Solomon is available in-game now (just in time for National Chess Day)! We're halfway through our latest set of heroes, keep your votes coming to help determine who will be joining us next Tuesday at 2pm PDT. Have a great weekend!
It was a close contest, but today we find New York's notorious pigeon lady leaving her favorite perch in Central Park and joining the fight on the city streets.
Tourists in the park might not think much of ol' Baba sitting on her bench - sipping tea and talking to her birds - but the locals have always suspected that something more brews below the surface. In the heat of battle, Baba throws out her Threadsap, a chaotic spool of yarn that steals the very spirit of her enemies, granting her greater power. While her legs might not be what they used to, her trusty bench comes to life with a creak of metal, allowing her to run, jump, and kick with impressive vigor. Parkgoers know it's best to stay on Baba's good side, as at tea time you might find yourself splashed with one of Baba's Brews (some of them much sweeter than others), and when tea time is over - The Birds come out to play... "They think they know magic? Oh I'll show 'em some magic."
Baba and her pigeons are available now! We'll see you back here on Friday at 2pm PDT to introduce our next hero.
Additionally, the end date for our first Ranked season has been pushed back to Thursday November 5th, 2026 at 2pm PDT, with the next season starting immediately after.
