The highly anticipated Dota 2 Crownfall update is on the horizon, set to be the most significant patch in nearly a year. With the release window fast approaching, players are eagerly awaiting the arrival of new content and changes to the game.
One of the key features of the Crownfall update is the introduction of a new hero, Ringmaster. This circus-themed character is expected to bring a unique playstyle to the game, potentially involving trapping and controlling other heroes.
Aside from the new hero, the patch is also expected to bring substantial alterations to the Dota 2 map, as well as the addition of new items and hero reworks. Players can look forward to a fresh gameplay experience reminiscent of the impactful 7.33 patch from the previous year.
In addition to gameplay changes, the Crownfall update will also mark the release of new cosmetics, including the highly anticipated Arcana set. This launch will be the first major cosmetic release since Valve shifted away from the battle pass system.
While an exact release date has not been confirmed, the community speculates that the Crownfall update will likely drop in mid-April. April 18 is the favored date due to the historical pattern of Dota 2 updates being released on Thursdays, although April 11 remains a possibility.
Valve typically provides a teaser 24 hours before a major patch release, signaling the imminent arrival of the update. Streamer Robson 'TeaGuvnor' Merritt's waiting room stream is also expected to indicate the impending launch of the Crownfall patch.
As with all Dota 2 heroes, Ringmaster will be available for free to all players upon release. However, players can expect optional cosmetic items for the new hero available for purchase.
With the Dota 2 Crownfall update set to bring a wealth of new content and changes to the game, players are eagerly counting down the days until its anticipated mid-April release.
