Dota 2’s beloved Frostivus event is poised for a grand return on December 15th, 2023, as Valve teases a significant update filled with festive surprises and game-altering changes.
In a blog post titled “The Dark Night Before Frostivus,” released on December 14th, the game’s developers have hinted at a storm of changes coming to the Dota 2 universe, alongside the arrival of the mystical King Kringle.
Mysterious Gifts and Game-Changing Updates
King Kringle, a central figure in the Frostivus narrative, is set to bring a series of mysterious gifts to Dota 2. The first ‘sack of gifts,’ described as unknown to the realm, includes enigmatic items like the Nemesis Curse, the Whisper of Dread, and the Moonlight Tiara. Fans speculate that these could be linked to heroes such as Templar Assassin, Muerta, and Luna, suggesting new immortals, personas, or sets.
Revamping In-Game Items
The second sack hints at substantial changes to in-game items. Notable mentions include the Orb of Corrosion, Arcane Boots, and Bloodthorn, indicating a major overhaul in how these items function. This suggests that the upcoming patch might focus significantly on balancing and revamping in-game items, adding a fresh dynamic to gameplay.
The Removal of Neutral Items?
Perhaps the most intriguing is King Kringle’s third sack, which teases the removal of several in-game neutral items. Phrases like “The Gift I Take Back” and “I’m taking them all” suggest a potential phase-out of items such as the Ring of Aquila and Titan Sliver. While this could be specific to a PVP/PVE event accompanying the update, it has certainly piqued the curiosity of the Dota 2 community.
New Abilities for The Tormentor and Roshan
An additional twist includes teased new abilities for The Tormentor and Roshan, promising to add even more excitement and challenge to the game.
Frostivus, a long-standing tradition since 2012, has always been a highlight for Dota 2 players.
It’s not just a seasonal event but a celebration deeply ingrained in the game’s culture. This year’s iteration promises to be as enchanting and engaging as ever.
As players eagerly await the arrival of Frostivus on December 15th, 2023, the Dota 2 community is abuzz with anticipation for the new changes.
