DEADLOCKNew Deadlock heroes
City Never Sleeps shipped six heroes in the order the hero vote chose, two a week on Tuesday and Friday at 14:00 PT. The last of them is Nurse Harrow. No following hero has a date.
I lined the October 2026 dates up with the wiki release table before I wrote “latest.” The gap between Violet and Nurse Harrow is four days, which matches the twice-a-week pattern the September 29 patch notes describe.
The two latest batches
Unreleased names the wiki lists without dates include Druid, Fortuna, Graf, Opera, Skyrunner, Swan, Boho and Vandal. They are file or historical entries, not announcements.
