The eyes of Valve's creepy portrait are glowing again
It could signal an imminent update.
Valve's eerie portrait of a man wearing red gloves has once again begun to glow, signaling to Deadlock players that a major new update is likely on the horizon. This is no coincidence, as the last time the portrait glowed was before the Old Gods, New Blood update, which added six new heroes, a fresh mode, and numerous other enhancements that transformed the game from a niche project into a successful video game.
Valve has confirmed this news on Discord, though the specifics of the upcoming update remain shrouded in mystery. The developer account Yoshi announced that they plan to release a major content update early next week, though no details have been provided. Deadlock has recently revamped its ranked mode and initiated its first ranked season, leading to a series of minor balance updates.
Recent datamining efforts have uncovered new models for Deadlock's MOBA towers, which could indicate a broader visual overhaul for the game's underdeveloped elements. Additionally, there are rumors of a PvE-focused mode being introduced, but this appears to be still far off. While it's impossible to predict Valve's intentions, it's evident that significant efforts are being made to elevate the game to the level of a proper Valve title.
