Valve's MOBA hero shooter, Deadlock, remains in an exclusive invite-only testing phase, with the company continuously refining and enhancing the game. However, a recent livestream mishap has seemingly unveiled a second, even more secretive playtest, showcasing previously unseen characters and revamped designs.
A livestream hosted by a prominent Deadlock player inadvertently revealed this information when the streamer opened the wrong Deadlock build on stream, as reported by Eurogamer. The leaked roster featured new characters such as the nostalgic Doorman, the scholarly Bookworm, and the eerie Vampirebat, alongside visual updates for existing characters like Ivy. Although the streamer quickly corrected the mistake, the information had already spread among viewers.
As of now, no further details have emerged, but the leak is still quite recent. Deadlock is no stranger to leaks, having been the subject of numerous rumors regarding its existence and content. While it's not uncommon for games to have test builds for a broader audience to experiment with upcoming updates, it's unusual for Deadlock, which is still in its early, invite-only stage.The community's reactions on the r/DeadlockTheGame subreddit are mixed, with some expressing frustration over feeling left out of the playtest loop. Even in its more public build, Deadlock has undergone significant changes, including the removal of an entire lane. Valve has previously utilized the Hero Labs mode to allow players to test new heroes, but this appears to be an additional method to test with a highly selective group.
Despite its exclusive access, Deadlock has attracted a substantial player base and garnered attention from fans of both shooter games and MOBAs. A new game from Valve naturally draws interest, and Deadlock's unique rollout and ongoing invite-only status only add to its allure. Now, with the revelation of this second, more exclusive build, speculation among players is sure to intensify.
It's crucial to maintain perspective on the real news, as one Reddit user humorously pointed out: "Oh great as if one Lash wasn't bad enough, now there are two of him!"
