Valve's back from the New Year break, and developers are rolling out updates across their game portfolio. Following Deadlock's shift from bi-weekly updates, we anticipated a substantial patch. However, Valve opted for a smaller, less impactful update to kick off the year.
This initial 2025 patch focused solely on adjustments to Yamato. His Shadow Transformation received a minor nerf, reducing damage scaling and the attack speed bonus at the first level. Further adjustments included nerfs to Frenzy, Berserker, and Restorative Shot, alongside a subtle rework of Alchemical Fire.

A more comprehensive patch is highly anticipated, though the timing remains uncertain. Predicting a release date is currently impossible.
It's noteworthy that Deadlock has experienced a player base decline. While the reasons are speculative (possibly due to the popularity of Marvel Rivals), a consistent player count of 7,000–19,000 for a game still in deep beta is respectable. As a reminder, Valve hasn't yet revealed release plans or monetization details for Deadlock.
