Samurai bird: new Dota 2 hero announced

Right now, the final stage of The International 2024 Dota 2 tournament is taking place in Denmark. Valve announced a new hero, who was shown during the competition broadcast, just in time.

The new character is the anthropomorphic samurai bird Kez, the head of the Kazuarai Order. The hero will appear in the fourth act of «Fallen Crown», which will feature a battle with the Empire. According to data miners, the finale of the storyline will be released in late September. The hero's abilities have not yet been officially revealed.

Earlier, another character appeared in Dota 2 — it was Ringmaster, who was announced last fall. Later, Valve traditionally nerfed the new hero due to a bug with critical damage.
