In a classic Valve move, Ringmaster just popped up in Dota 2 after months of waiting
Dota 2‘s 125th hero is finally available to play after Valve launched a (not so surprising) surprise update ahead of The International 2024, and he’s as spooky as it gets.
Valve first revealed Ringmaster on Oct. 29, 2023, right before Dota 2’s The International 2023 grand finals were played. Though the Dota developers never actually announced a release date, the teaser confirmed Ringmaster would be coming in 2024. Most fans assumed this meant the character would ship with the Crownfall updates, but Valve does things on its own time—we’re now just 12 days out from The International 2024.
