Valve just reworked Deadlock's Soul Urn yet again, and even the item itself is ready to give up
Valve is now up to four sets of Deadlock patch notes where changes to the Soul Urn are the biggest talking point. This time, they're the only thing in the update, and it's another fairly substantial overhaul. The 'Capture the Flag' style vase of souls has long deserved more...

Deadlock's Urn chaos continues as Valve steps in again following tournament drama
It happened again. A new Deadlock update continues Valve's Soul Urn experiment, and this time it was a competitive tournament match that brought the MOBA's current balance concerns back into the spotlight. A showdown between Floormen and Melee Creeps in the NA finals of this...

Valve just completely changed the Deadlock Urn again, days after its rework spawned a weekend of mayhem
Valve has just dropped an 'emergency' Deadlock update, and I hope you didn't get too used to the new Soul Urn, because it's all changing again. The most recent patch shook up the hero-shooter MOBA in a number of ways, but by far the most significant was its redesign of the way...

Deadlock new midlane objective turned games into such a mid-only fiasco that it only lasted one weekend, though Valve's still experimenting
Deadlock still technically isn't out yet—which means that Valve's gonna experiment. As was the case with last Friday's patch , that made a sweeping list of changes to the urn, one of the objectives on the game's map that helps encourage players to actually batch up for...

A new Deadlock update reworks the Urn into a more chaotic, powerful comeback engine
A new Deadlock update is here, and as ever the Valve MOBA is packing in plenty of changes. This is largely more of a balance pass than anything, but there are a couple of particularly notable extras. The first is an experimental redesign for the Soul Urn, which the developer is...

Deadlock's latest 'small update' yet again remixes basic mechanics and rebalances most of the roster
More than team fights, more than shrewd theorycrafting, and more than map awareness, MOBAs are ultimately games about scaling: get more money than the other guys, and once you've got a power spike to leverage, dunk on them as hard as you can... Read more.

Now that Subnautica 2 is out, the most wishlisted game on Steam is… a game that's been out for almost 2 years?
weirdly enjoyable side effect of a massive game launch is that it shakes up the most-wishlisted games on Steam . Subnautica 2 has been perched (haha, fish pun) atop the most-wishlisted games on Steam for ages, probably since Hollow Knight: Silksong was released in September...

Why I love Deadlock's map, which has brought me back to the world of MOBAs long after I swore I'd quit
MOBAs are an unassailable genre at the best of times—they require not just a high level of mechanical skill, but they also have a massive knowledge floor, demanding you keep track of a dozen dozen variables or die in ways that ruin it for everybody. And Deadlock is no...

I just watched someone try to explain Deadlock to Joe Rogan for 6 minutes, and surprisingly, they kinda nailed it
There are times where, during our daily discussions of whether something meets the bar to be considered news on the good site PC Gamer, where I am filled with a deep sense of foreboding dread... Read more.

Deadlock's latest update brings some huge movement buffs like jumping mid slide and 30% increased air control—it's a lot cooler than it sounds
If given the opportunity, I'll always choose to play as a little guy in a videogame. So for Deadlock my character of choice is obviously Rem, the littlest guy around . He's adorable, surprisingly strong, and very mobile, meaning I can cause chaos, swipe a kill, steal some...

A transformative Deadlock update just hit its entire roster with 850 lines of patch notes. Here are the biggest changes.
The speed with which Valve is deploying huge Deadlock overhauls has me stunned, like I'm caught in the headlights of an Apollo ult. It's been just six weeks since the team unveiled its massive Old Gods, New Blood update , and only three since the last of its new heroes rolled...

Deadlock's snazziest rich boy, Apollo, gets struck down by a bunch of nerfs after terrorising matches: 'Yoshi took him out back'
pollo, the latest hero to come to the Cursed Apple of Deadlock —and the final in the sextuplet of the Old Gods, New Blood update—has been hit with a barrage of nerfs, per the game's official changelog forums ... Read more.

I'm sad Deadlock is 'just' a MOBA—not because I don't like them, but because I'm in love with Valve's lore and characters enough to want any other game instead
I have a love-hate relationship with MOBAs, but Deadlock —after its new Old Gods, New Blood update —has dragged me back to the genre kicking and screaming. I've got over 2,400 hours in Dota 2 from my misspent uni years, and I'm currently sitting on 183 hours with Valve's latest...

New Deadlock hero Apollo completes Valve's massive roster expansion, and the MOBA's vision feels clearer than ever
Valve has transformed Deadlock dramatically in recent months. First we got a rapid rollout of six new faces, just shy of half a year ago now. Then came a series of updates that reworked core systems such as laning and the progression system. The newest major update, dubbed 'Old...

All of Deadlock's new heroes are now released—but please, pity the poor schmuck that spent anywhere between 252-378 hours pouring votes into Celeste, who came second to last
Deadlock 's Old Gods, New Blood update has released its final hero, the duelist Apollo, and he's really goddamn fun—before I get into the nitty gritty of the Ixian cast, however, Valve has some fun stats from the voting process to share... Read more.

Valve isn't putting Gordon Freeman into any new games, so Deadlock modders have taken matters into their own hands
To spare myself the psychic turmoil, I decided to accept years ago that Half-Life 3 will never happen. Best case scenario, I get to be delighted by being proven wrong. Worst case, I'm sparing myself from the cyclical mass psychosis of reading an imminent Half-Life 3 announcement...

Deadlock releases the 5th hero in its new 6-hero lineup—Celeste, a floaty carnival performer with an ultimate that gives me war flashbacks to Dota 2
Deadlock has me in an iron grip at the moment, and I owe part of that to my prior experience with Dota 2—see, back when I was a lot less happy (these things might be correlated), I sunk about 2,500 hours into that MOBA hell dimension. I regret just about every single one, but...

Deadlock's littlest guy makes size matter in a way it almost never has in a MOBA before
Deadlock's newest support character, a sleepy owl-goblin creature called Rem, is just the littlest guy. He barely comes up to waist height when standing next to the towering tank Abrams, and if he crouches, he's about the size of one of the breakable gold jars that decorate the...
PC Gamer
Deadlock players are modding the weirdest characters into the game, including Linguini and Remy, Hatsune Miku, and LeBron James: 'Skin walker Linguini cannot be unseen'
I consider myself to have a pretty high bar for tolerating the unnerving and weird. But watching a long-armed Linguini slap players around in Deadlock triggers a fight or flight response in me that my ancestors probably felt when they saw a prehistoric cave bear for the first...

Deadlock's next hero is Venator, a special agent of the Vatican who has 2 guns—also a grenade, a bear trap, and a crossbow that shoots holy stakes
Deadlock's most recent update , "Old Gods, New Blood", has added six new heroes to the game. Well, kinda —it's allowed players to vote on the release order of six new heroes, which have been coming to the cursed apple piecemeal. So far we've had sleepy little guy Rem , an actual...
PC Gamer
Deadlock's newest hero, Silver, gets a soft rework just as I was getting used to her
One of the 'fun' things about Deadlock being in 'closed beta'—that is, not officially released, but relatively accessible with an invite from a pal—is the fact that Valve is under no compulsion or desire to keep the meta stable for any serious length of time. As is the case with...

Deadlock's newest hero has the luxury of two kits, multiple knockback attacks, and the ability to turn into a werewolf every 30 seconds
The third hero of the new batch coming to Deadlock is none other than Silver, the bounty-hunting werewolf, as she won the latest round of voting . I would just like to thank everyone who voted, and, of course, myself for not only using all my votes on Silver but also for...

Deadlock drops "hot mess" werewolf hero, and she seems like a tricky character to master
You can't say that Deadlock doesn't have variety. Shortly after it added the sleepiest, cutest 'lil guy Rem to its roster, Valve switched things up with zombie-summoning goth girl Graves , and has now announced, ahem, "hot mess" werewolf lady Silver. She has been met with the...

Deadlock now lets you avoid certain heroes when queuing for a game, but you can't avoid the newest ones
There's no greater pain in a MOBA than seeing your favorite hero swept into the swirling void of unplayability by a hero ban, but it’s a necessary evil, at least for buttoned-up ranked play. Bans make picking and counterpicking more interesting and keep imbalanced characters off...

New Deadlock hero Graves isn't quite the summoner class I was hoping for, but she might still be my new favorite
I've been wondering when the Deadlock hero pool would get its first true summoner, and newcomer Graves (no, not that one, League of Legends fans) seemed at first glance like she might fill the role. However, the stylish necromancer isn't quite what I was expecting, feeling a lot...

Deadlock players have chosen Graves, the goth girl, as the second new character to be added, beating out unicorn lady and demon boy
Deadlock's players already voted on which of the six new characters introduced in the Old Gods, New Blood update is their favourite—it's none other than the littlest guy around, Rem . But who would come in second place? Well, that spot has gone to a goth chick who carries around...

Deadlock's big update added one very important feature: A secret bedroom for its teeny tiny dream-gremlin
Deadlock, the MOBA shooter that Valve would still like us to pretend hasn't launched even as it receives major additions whose patch notes span pages of tastefully produced graphical treatments, has been drawing attention with its Old Gods, New Blood update. As of last week,...

I would die for Deadlock's new hero Rem, who also has one of the best easter eggs I've seen in a competitive PvP game
Following last week's colossal Deadlock update, the community has been voting on which of Valve's six new heroes it wants added to the game first. I had my money on Silver, the self-proclaimed "hot mess," but Deadlock players have pleasantly surprised me, opting for the adorable...

Deadlock's next character fan vote has been won by the littlest guy around, Rem: 'May god have mercy on us all'

Deadlock's new Street Brawl mode is like a better version of the infamous MOBA 'All Random, All Mid,' but I think it could stand to be even more chaotic
I don't have children, but if I did, I'd probably love them less than I love Deadlock, Valve's work-in-progress MOBA shooter. It might be unfinished, but its anarchic invite-only test has served up better live service than most live service games with its constant reinvention—a...

Deadlock just received a huge update, with 6 new heroes, overhauled patrons, and a new game mode—and it was all predicted with Domino's pizza
Deadlock fans are eating good right now, as Valve released a huge update for the MOBA named Old Gods, New Blood that's still technically in its secret closed beta. But they are not eating as well as the devs at Valve HQ, who may or may not have contributed to a serious Domino's...

Valve's biggest Deadlock update yet transforms the MOBA, and it's finally starting to feel like the real deal
New Deadlock patch notes have just landed for what might well be the most important update Valve's hero-shooter MOBA has seen since it first stepped onto Steam. Boasting a major visual upgrade and UI overhaul, six new heroes stepping onto the battlefield, and an all-new,...

Deadlock dev teases the community over its favorite hero that was briefly tested and removed: 'We made delicious stock out of his bones and meats'
You might remember Slork. He featured in a PC Gamer article with the headline "Slork," and the strapline, "Slork." Everyone had a good time slorkin' it back then, and the unfinished hero quickly turned heads with his ridiculous name and experimental, stealthy playstyle. That...

Valve spent 2025 ripping apart Deadlock and putting it back together, and it delivered better live service than most live service games
League of Legends looks unrecognizable in 2025 when compared to its cartoonier, humbler 2009 incarnation. And yet, while Summoner's Rift has been dotted with all sorts of new jungle monsters, balance tweaks, and visual overhauls, the actual map has changed only slightly... Read...

Valve's new Deadlock update makes solo laning more viable, but you'll have to consider your push timings carefully
Valve has pushed out yet another new Deadlock update in the wake of its balance changes. The combination of hero shooter and MOBA might still technically be in an invite-only playtest, but getting access is more of a formality than a challenge, and its development team has been...

A 'small update' just shook up Deadlock's basic mechanics and tweaked nearly every hero
Deadlock 's not-so-secret invite-only beta has been a blast if you don't mind your favorite MOBA getting fundamentally altered every few months. The game has switched up how many lanes it has, dropped half a dozen new heroes in one go , and now, majorly overhauled lane creep...

A new Deadlock update completely transforms laning and progression, and I'm not sure Valve knows the meaning of 'small'
When you look at a game's Steam page and see the 'small update' tag, it can be easy to assume it's some bug fixes and minor tweaks. I didn't expect to open the new Deadlock update and find myself staring at more than 240 lines of changes, therefore, let alone ones that...

Deadlock just shuffled everyone into new ranked leagues overnight, but players suspect matchmaking won't feel any different: 'If you were miserable before, you'll still be miserable now'
I've never played an invite-only beta test with such a fully-formed ranking system as Deadlock's, but I guess when everyone gets unlimited plus-ones, the audience is big enough to warrant it. Besides, the game's beta status didn't stop me lamenting my place in Arcanist IV—below...

With Silksong in our hands, Steam's new reigning wishlist kings are both kind of basket cases: The partially-released Deadlock and lawsuit lightning rod Subnautica 2
Just as prior wishlist chart-toppers The Day Before ( lol ), Manor Lords, and (briefly) Stray gave way to Hollow Knight: Silksong's long reign, so too has Team Cherry's platformer passed the torch to a new contender. Subnautica 2 is now the most wishlisted game on Steam ,...

2 of Deadlock's 6 new heroes are running over low-skill matches—I'd know, because they've been stomping me flat into the sidewalk like a chump

If you're like me and fell off Valve's other MOBA Deadlock, these last few months of updates are worth coming back for
I had a grand old time with Valve's MOBA, Deadlock, when I first took it for a spin back in August of last year . And then, because I am a person with a job, social obligations, bills, and—most importantly, two MMOs I'm currently playing—I dropped off... Read more.

Deadlock's latest character basically gets a portal gun, and his ult teleports enemies to a void hotel where they have to do a platforming challenge
Valve has once again broken its silence on its upcoming hero shooter-meets-MOBA Deadlock. Six new playable characters were announced last week and Valve has been slowly revealing more about each of them in the days since. The latest might be one of the game's coolest characters...

Deadlock is drip-feeding 6 new heroes over the next couple of weeks, and is letting players decide which ones drop first
It's easy to forget that Deadlock is still in its infancy—maybe because Valve spent several months denying its existence before unleashing it in an invite-only form last August. But the developer is still toiling away at creating the MOBA alongside the community, and this week...
