    Dear friends, as October comes to a close, Dota 2 fans are eagerly anticipating new content. After a lengthy lull, it looks like we have some exciting events ahead: the fourth act of Crownfall is about to begin, and a new hero, Kez, is set to make their debut. The Blix team has analyzed what Valve has in store for players and explored the leaks that reveal details about the upcoming updates.

    What Updates Do We Have on the Servers?

     This time, the analytical bot DotaDM has observed that unofficial activities are taking place not on the usual staging servers but on the website Dota2.com/Aghanim. Experienced players might recall the PvE mode called “Aghanim Labyrinth”, an exciting adventure where participants fought through waves of enemies and bosses. This platform became a key space for developing new PvE modes. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the Aghanim version is currently active, indicating that a new PvE mode is being prepared for release.

    The trailer introducing the new hero, Kez, showcases changing weather conditions. This suggests that there will be a large map divided into different locations, each with its own unique weather. This design allows players to experience a variety of situations, similar to the atmosphere in Labyrinth of Aghanim, which featured areas themed around winter and water.

    New Locations and Visual References

    Recent leaks have revealed new backgrounds for the hero select screen, teasing players about the upcoming event. These backdrops hint at various phases and quests within the PvE mode. For instance, one canyon backdrop resembles the chase scenes involving Snapfire, Batrider, and Timbersaw. Meanwhile, another backdrop depicts a forest filled with shards, referencing the first Labyrinth of Aghanim, where players confronted challenges and sought out a powerful mage.

    Additionally, it’s important to note that the backdrops were designed by Wild Blue Studios, a team that has collaborated with Valve for several years. Expect these visual additions, rich with details and passphrases, to enhance the game’s immersion.

     The new hero is Kez, the influential head of the Order of Kazurai

    The new hero, Kez, is the head of the Order of Kazurai and will confront the Queen of the Empire in the final battle of the fourth act of “Crownfall“. Players will need his assistance during this critical clash. The trailer for Kez has already hinted at his grim demeanor and gritty attitude, featuring a rainy backdrop and dramatic lightning that sets the stage for an inevitable showdown. As a melee character with unique skills, Kez introduces fresh tactics for team play.

    What to Expect from the New Frostivus Event and Arcana

    On New Year’s Eve, we eagerly anticipate the “Frostivus” event, which has been confirmed by newly discovered lines of code. Last year, during “Frostivus,” the developers introduced special holiday chests, and this year, we might also see unique effects and rare items. In the previous season, Valve even dressed the Wraith King character as Santa Claus, adding a harness that became an exclusive item.

    Interestingly, a recent bug on the map caught the attention of players; however, it turned out to be an issue with the Vulkan graphics engine. Valve is actively working on a fix for this problem.

    Release Date and Future Predictions

     The release date for the fourth act of “Crownfall” is November 1. Similar to previous acts, this release will last for about a month and a half. Afterward, the game will be updated for the winter season with “Frostivus” and New Year’s Eve customizations. Valve plans to implement a substantial patch that will update both PvE modes and character mechanics, enhancing versatility for players.

    With this, Valve is preparing us for the conclusion of the “Crownfall” story, along with thoughtful innovations that create a festive atmosphere in anticipation of the winter holidays. Feel free to discuss this upcoming event in a Reddit thread.
