Deadlock's City Never Sleeps Update Lets Players Vote Six New Heroes Into the Game

Valve released the City Never Sleeps update for Deadlock, its hero shooter, on September 29. Six new heroes arrive in an order players vote on (one vote per game, two per win), going live Tuesdays and Fridays from October 2. The map is split into new districts including Chinatown and a Haunted Lot, and a secret shop called The Broker appears around 30 minutes in, selling upgraded items with random drawbacks. New heroes need 15 Standard wins before Ranked.
