A post titled “Minor Update - 06-30-2026” appeared in the Steam announcements of Deadlock on Jun 30, 2026, and listed a rethemed King of the Hill objective, renamed Unstable Rift. The notes said Unstable Rift no longer needed an Urn delivery to start, and that its spawn interval rose from every 6 minutes to every 7 minutes. They also listed Urn running as its own objective, all ultimate base and upgrade cooldowns nerfed by 15%, and changes to individual heroes and items. The full list of changes is in that Steam post.1^,2^,3^,4^,5^,6^,7^,8^,9^,10
