Deadlock's City Never Sleeps Update Adds Six Classes, Including Rat King
Valve's Deadlock update introduces six new classes, including Rat King with 1,534 voice lines, and doubles voice lines for existing heroes.
Valve has released a major update for Deadlock called City Never Sleeps, which adds six new classes to the game. Among them is a tank hero named Rat King, who comes with 1,534 individual voice lines. Of those, 126 are dedicated to his power, Rat Swarm.
The update also doubles the number of voice lines for all existing Deadlock characters, as reported by pcgamer.com. This significant increase in voice work suggests a substantial expansion of the game's audio content.
Rat King's origin traces back to a fan concept before he joined Deadlock's official roster in October 2025. His addition, along with the other five classes, marks a notable content drop for the game.
With the City Never Sleeps update, Valve continues to build out Deadlock's roster and deepen its character interactions through expanded voice lines.
