Rumors surrounding Valve's hero shooter Deadlock have remained shrouded in mystery since the game was first leaked to the world last week, but further investigation has revealed potentially crucial information: the game's full character roster.
New Valve Game, HUGE Leak
A full list of every character in Deadlock was reportedly sent to online reporting site Insider Gaming, with the May 21 report diving into the list and other gameplay mechanics. There are 19 characters in total, including a "gargoyle demon-like character" named Abrams, a monkey-and-pig duo named Mo and Krill, and Grey Talon, a Native American hero we saw as part of the Gabe Follower leaks on May 17.
Exact details and descriptions of each character on the list weren't given, but the list does include the assumed name of each Deadlock character. From bounty hunter Wraith to Ivy the Imp and samurai-themed Yamato, it seems Valve's new hero shooter is drawing inspiration from all walks of life, similar to that of genre giant Blizzard's Overwatch 2.
Insider Gaming also shared alleged gameplay footage, stating that the six-on-six hero shooter was still in early stages of development with "many experimental gameplay features and art assets." The report added that testers drew comparisons to MOBAs like Dota 2 and SMITE, where players were expected to farm minions before engaging in team fights.
