"2025's First Deadlock Update: Surprisingly Small"

by Audrey Apr 22,2025

Valve has returned from their New Year holidays, and game developers are already rolling out exciting new patches. Following the news that Deadlock is shifting away from its bi-weekly update schedule, we were expecting a comprehensive changelog. However, Valve chose to kick off the year with a lighter touch.

The latest patch focused solely on one hero, Yamato, who received a minor nerf. This adjustment included a reduction in damage scaling and a decreased attack speed bonus at the first level of Shadow Transformation. Alongside this, Frenzy, Berserker, and Restorative Shot were also weakened, while Alchemical Fire saw a slight rework.

Given the size of this update, it's likely that we'll need to wait a bit longer for a more substantial patch. At this stage, predicting when that will happen is nearly impossible.

It's important to highlight that Deadlock has experienced a notable decline in its player base recently. This could be attributed to the surge in popularity of Marvel Rivals, yet for a game still in deep beta, maintaining a steady online player count of 7,000 to 19,000 is quite respectable. Keep in mind, Valve has not yet disclosed any potential release dates or details about the game's monetization model.
