Dota 2 There is a new event mode and pass the battle. Aghanim from last year’s Aghanim’s Labyrinth event is back, and this time a “multiverse confusion incident” has split him into multiple doppelgängers that the player must rescue. The event mode is free, but it comes with a new battle card that costs money to enter.
More strangely, today’s update also introduces experimental gamepad support.
“From picking your hero to defeating an Artifact, you can fight your way to victory in Dota by plugging in any PC controller that allows Steam Input (including PS/XBOX/ Switch Pro Controllers and more) and bring your hero into the fray”, read announcements.
According to Valve, every hero must work on a controller, but that’s an experimental feature and “still in development”. They also posted Controller FAQ explains how to enable support and how it works.
Valve has recently made changes to some of their older games seemingly in preparation for the release. Steam floor. For example, Half-Life 2 has received a beta branch update that adds support for new resolutions, a scalable UI, and a Vulkan renderer that will make it more compatible with the operating system. Steam Deck Linux. Suppose, I think Steam will label games based on their compatibility with the Deck, I imagine Valve wants their own games to tick all the boxes – and that means working with the same sticks and X/Y/A/B buttons as Dota 2 does today.
You can also read more about the free event and new battle pass at its mini site. Fourteen of the game’s hero roster can enter Aghanim’s labyrinth, with new powers unlocked as you play. The battle pass, which you can buy for $7.49, will grant rewards that include a Mirana character from the Dota: Dragon’s Blood anime.
