Dota 2<\/em>\u00a0had a dry year in terms of cosmetics in 2023. With all the cosmetics tucked away in Valve’s closet, fans slowly started losing interest—so much so that one player dived into the\u00a0Dota 2<\/em>\u00a0game files and dug up hints for the next big update, Crownfall.<\/p>

Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit Arcanas, and event-themed cosmetics for Crystal Maiden, Oracle, and Drow Ranger, also appeared in\u00a0Dota 2<\/a>‘s<\/em>\u00a0Crownfall update leaks. The update was originally expected to arrive in September 2023 but was delayed.<\/p>
The alleged PvE event might also double with a Candy Shop where players can redeem event currencies for cosmetics. In 2022,\u00a0Dota 2<\/em>\u00a0fans could even\u00a0get Arcanas from the Candyworks<\/a>, which was part of the Diretide event.<\/p>
Even the most competitive players love events, as they often feature custom games and give players the chance to add more cosmetics to their collections. These events used to happen around TI time, but Valve decided there would be\u00a0no battle pass for\u00a0Dota 2<\/em>\u00a0in 2023<\/a>, and many players considered its replacement disrespectful<\/a>.<\/p>
Considering\u00a0Valve also ended the Dota\u00a0Pro Circuit<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0Dota 2<\/em>\u00a0players anticipated more content patches. While one is on the way, it took Valve longer than expected to deliver, so filling this event with elements beloved to the community would be in the developer’s best interest.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
