Valve has finally announced the release date of the Dota 2 update Crownfall

Valve has announced that the Crownfall update for Dota 2 is expected to be released around mid-April. It is possible that this refers to April 20, which coincides with World Circus Day, associating it with the new hero Ring Master.

The corresponding announcement was posted on the official Dota 2 website.

"We know that many of you are eagerly anticipating the Crownfall update, and we can't wait to bring it to you. We're just putting the finishing touches, so the update will be released around mid-April. Until then, all the best!"

According to Valve's statement, one of the fan theories may turn out to be true, and the release date could fall on April 20, coinciding with World Circus Day. The Dota 2 community has long speculated that this is the day when the new hero Ring Master, with a circus theme, will be introduced. Furthermore, this date aligns with the definition of "around mid-April".

However, it's also possible that the release could happen on April 18-19, as Valve tends to release major patches on these dates according to statistics.

Recall that Valve released patch 7.35d, introducing several new features, overhauling the ban system, and adding interesting updates for Dota Plus subscribers.
