The release date for Dota 2’s newest hero Kez and Crownfall Act 4 may come sooner than people think.

The announcement of Kez during TI 2024 reignited hype among Dota 2 players, especially so soon after Ringmaster’s long-awaited debut.  Valved teased the avian blade master’s debut alongside Crownfall Act 4. As a potential Agility carry like Juggernaut, Kez could shake up the competitive scene in a big way. As fans come down from the hype of The International, the Dota 2 esports season began anew with Dreamleague Season 24. A

fter a solid round of qualifiers, Dota 2 caster Ricky “rkryptic” Peterson shared some potentially exciting news about Kez and Crownfall Act 4.

When is the release date of Crownfall Act 4 in Dota 2?

Ricky “rkryptic” Peterson has claimed the release date of Crownfall Act 4 will be October 1, 2024.

The insider claimed that the update is scheduled for right after Dreamleague Season 24’s closed qualifier, which ends on September 30.

“Before we go, I hope you gamers are excited for tomorrow, because you get to look forward to Crownfall Act 4, the new hero Kez, and I’m sure another juicy surprise you guys could look forward to,” said rkryptic after Dreamleague Season 24’s closed qualifier.

Many fans took this to mean that as an October 1 release date for Crownfall Act 4 and Kez. However, rkryptic may simply have teased news or announcements regarding Crownfall Act 4. Valve does tend to release updates in between events, especially if it includes a game patch. The timing between the closed qualifiers for DreamLeague and the actual event gives an opportunity to refresh the meta after TI 13.

Fans consider Dreamleague, organized by ESL Gaming and Dreamhack,  as one of the most notable ESL Pro Tours in the scene. Valve has not corroborated rkryptic’s claims, but most believe Kez and Act 4 will still come out in 2024. However, some fans worry about the dreaded “Valve Time.”

“If you truly think it will be November 1st, I feel really sorry for you and maybe you should check your pipes for lead,” said one Redditor in response to speculation that Crownfall Act 4 would be released by then.

Regardless of release date speculations, Crownfall Act 4 has been a critical success for Valve, with many players praising the weekly rewards, fun activities, and lore expansion. If Act 4 sticks the landing, fans may remember it as one of the best Dota 2 events in history.
