**Deadlock’s Old Gods, New Blood Update: How to Vote for the Next Playable Character**
The Old Gods, New Blood update for *Deadlock* introduces an exciting new feature: players get to decide the order in which six new characters are released. These characters will arrive two at a time each week, starting January 26. However, unlike traditional launches, the release schedule is completely in the hands of the community through in-game voting.
### How to Vote for the Next Playable Character in Deadlock
To participate in the voting, you need to actively play *Deadlock*. Unfortunately, there’s no way to vote from outside the game. Here’s how you can cast your votes:
1. **Play Matches:** Participate in a Standard Match or a 4v4 Street Brawl. Completing these matches earns you one vote each.
2. **First Win of the Day Bonus:** If you secure your first win of the day, you’ll receive an additional 4 votes.
3. **Casting Your Vote:** Head back to your Hideout in-game, where you’ll find a table marked with floating “Vote” text. Locate the vote box for your preferred character and confirm your choice.
Once confirmed, your vote is locked in!
### Quick Voting Summary
– Log into *Deadlock*.
– Play a Standard Match or 4v4 Street Brawl to earn votes.
– First Win of the Day bonus grants 4 extra votes.
– In your Hideout, find the voting table with “Vote” signs.

There doesn’t appear to be a limit on how many votes you can accumulate, so the more you play, the more influence you have. Just keep in mind that you need to complete matches to earn votes — queuing without playing or quitting early won’t count!
