New Hero in Dota 2 Launching Tomorrow — Valve Releases Prequel Comic

Valve has officially confirmed the release date of the new hero in Dota 2. The samurai bird Kez, announced in September, will join the roster tomorrow, November 8. It's likely that Valve will also launch the fourth chapter of the «Crownfall» event on the same day.

Ahead of the official release, players can read a webcomic with Kez's backstory. The story follows an exiled temple acolyte who decides to stand against the new queen.

Before this, another long-awaited hero was added to the game — the reanimated automaton, Ringmaster. Currently, the character has no aspects or Aghanim's Scepter upgrade, but these features are expected to be added in the future.
