It seems like we are about to see a new Dota 2 hero soon because Valve released a new update for Dota 2’s experimental server. According to some dataminers, there is a new hero called Arjun, so here is everything we know.

Arjun Leak Surfaces After Latest Dota 2 Experimental Patch
While none of the information has been confirmed yet, sources on GitHub reveal that Arjuan is indeed present in the new update. A quick research shows that the hero has been added with the ID 159, and you can find him under the name npc_dota_hero_arjun. Sadly, these are all the details we know because there is no information in terms of abilities.
Arjun Isn’t Alone — Other Hidden Heroes Found on Test Servers
What’s interesting is that Arjun is not the only new Dota 2 hero that appeared on the experimental servers. Fans may remember that the same happened in September this year when we saw Bard Frog. He was one of the new heroes rumored to be released in 2024, but we have yet to see him in action.
Dota 2 Arjun – Early Role and Ability Speculation
As mentioned, we do not have information about Arjun’s abilities and/or role. However, this does not mean we can’t speculate.
Judging from the last couple of new heroes we’ve seen from Valve, there is a good chance that Arjun will be a tank. It has been a while since we’ve seen a tank in Dota 2, and it’s safe to say that fans will appreciate it.
In terms of abilities, the sky is the limit when it comes to Valve. With that said, we would not be surprised if the hero has an explosive skillset that allows him to initiate fights and deal a lot of burst damage. Think of something like Axe but with a little bit more “burstiness”.
Anyway, we will have to wait and see if we’ll be right. Make sure to follow us for more details.
