DEADLOCKOld Gods, New Blood
The wiki dates Old Gods, New Blood to 22 January 2026. The official update page introduces Street Brawl, redesigned Patrons and a six-hero release run.
This historical summary uses the official Old Gods page alongside the community patch and voting records. Current balance values belong to current references, not this January archive.
What is safe to say
Use this page as the evergreen name for that January update, and use the Street Brawl page for the rules. Hero-by-hero balance numbers from January are not reprinted, because October’s City Never Sleeps patch has superseded them.
