Deadlock playercount skyrockets thanks to new character release

It’s typical for a new game to be most popular right after launch, with player numbers eventually leveling out. Deadlock followed this pattern, but its release was unusual. Valve, the game’s developer, didn’t officially announce it, letting fans discover it and spread the word. The game quickly attracted over 170,000 players, proving to be a surprisingly successful launch despite the lack of traditional marketing.
