Initially leaked on May 16, images of Deadlock, a new six-versus-six hero shooter developed by Valve, surfaced online. Since then, interesting hero images and character details have also been shared through multiple sources.
Now, with more players slowly given access to the playtest, we’re getting a full look at the heroes we’ll be piloting–ranging from flying imps and blacksmiths to huge battle robots.
Here’s a full list of confirmed and leaked Deadlock heroes.
Full Deadlock roster: All playable characters
Valve has not officially shared info about Deadlock, so we’re going off what’s available in the playtest which may completely change by the time the game releases.
In May 21, Insider Gaming obtained a list of 19 characters reportedly featured in Deadlock’s current build. Some were featured in previous Deadlock leaks, but it wasn’t until a month or so later that we got our hands on the alpha.
