The grand ending of Dota 2’s yearly competition, The International, happened in Singapore over the weekend break, and also Valve made use of the chance to expose Dota 2’s 124th hero: Muerta.
The trailer for Muerta is just 47 secs long, and also reveals a lady strolling under a tree. As she goes by a range of statuaries and also antiques, close-by candles light themselves. The lady, Muerta, mentions experiencing struggling with both the living and also the dead, and also exactly how every person fears her even more than fatality.
At completion of the intro, Muerta takes a look at the video camera and also emerges, for absence of a far better term, covering her body in teal-painted skeletal markings. Muerta takes clear visual motivation from timeless Mexico’s Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) decors — which, not together, is Tuesday.
Valve didn’t expose anything regarding Muerta’s capacities or statistics. However, based upon her tools — 2 radiant guns that hang from her belt — it promises that she’ll be an agility-focused varied lug. Players won’t learn without a doubt up until Valve launches Muerta at some time in very early 2023.
Prior to Muerta, the last hero included in Dota 2 was Primal Beast, that struck the lanes on Feb. 23 of this year. With Muerta not appearing up until following year, it will certainly have to do with a year in between hero launches. This isn’t unusual for Dota 2, which regularly goes nearly a complete year in between brand-new heroes. 2020 just saw a solitary brand-new hero, Hoodwink, that didn’t release up until the center of December. However, there were 3 brand-new heroes included in the game in 2019, so Valve appears to launch heroes when they’re ready, as opposed to League of Legends’ approach of discarding a brand-new Champion every couple of months.
