Valve's Deadlock Gets City Never Sleeps Update With Six New Heroes
Valve launches Deadlock's City Never Sleeps update, adding a redesigned map, six new heroes, and interface improvements.
Valve has released a major update for Deadlock called City Never Sleeps, adding six new heroes and redesigning the entire map. The update is Valve's second major overhaul for the game.
The redesigned map is split into three themes: a bright city center, a haunted university, and a shadowy stock exchange. It also adds four districts with distinct identities, including a theater district and a Chinatown district with a bell tower.
The six new heroes include a nurse, a Chess master, a skeleton with a rocket launcher, an old witch, a young artist, and the Rat King. They will be released based on a player voting system, with two heroes dropping each week and the first debuting on Friday. The previous set of heroes was also released based on a player voting system, as reported by pcgamer.com.
The update also includes improvements to health bars, teammate indicators, the kill feed, the shop interface, pinging, voice lines, bot creation tools, combat details, and accessibility options. Valve has kept some update features secret for players to discover.
The Rat King began as a fan concept a year ago and became a community meme. The game still requires an invite to play.
