Update: Pudge Arcana is now available. To learn more, check out our most recent post on it here.

Ever since The International 2017 concluded, the entire Dota 2 community has been desperately waiting for the developers to release the new features which were promised during the major tournament. However, as we all know, when it comes to delivering on time, Valve is probably the last name which comes to mind. (Maybe ahead of EA Sports but let’s not deviate from the topic at hand). That being said, it seems that someone at Valve has leaked details regarding the upcoming content.

According to a Valve employee who goes by the handle, D2Gee (to protect his identity) has come out with details regarding the Pudge Arcana, the Battle Pass and a few other features which are in the works. Though there is no confirmation in connection with these leaks; we think they do hold some ground. This is because the same Valve employee has previously leaked information which has turned out to be true.

Dota 2 Remodels

What has D2Gee come out with this time around? Well, according to the recent leak, Valve is working on a ton of new features which include not only the 2018 Compendium and The Pudge Arcana but also a number of different visual and cosmetic changes. There are at least 10 different hero remodels. For the time being, we only know the names of the two heroes that are set to receive these changes, Dragon Knight and Huskar.

Though, personally, I quite like the Dragon Knight model, however, it will be refreshing to see a change for a few of the heroes in the game. And since the developers have been following this fad for quite some time with remodels for both Viper and Jakiro, the probability of this coming true is quite high.

Pudge Arcana And Compendium 2018

Furthermore, in connection to the Pudge Arcana and the 2018 Compendium, D2Gee states that both are currently in development. However, the Dota 2 fans will not have to wait for much longer as both, the Arcana and the Compendium will be releasing this May.

Now, this is quite interesting, as this leaked release date takes place in the same time gap in which the developers usually release their Battle Pass for Dota 2. Hence, there is a chance, this year we will see the Compendium for The International 2018 to make its way into Dota 2, sometime in May.

Hero Changes

We have got more news for you! The unknown Valve employee also mentions details about a few hero changes which the developers are currently working on. However, the one hero who took the spotlight was Shadow Fiend. It seems the developers are working on quite a few nerfs for Nevermore. Again, this does hold ground as currently, SF is quite overpowered in the game with his reworked Shadowrazes.

A few weeks ago another leak took the community by surprise. It’s about the Mars leak. It seems Valve is currently working on a new hero for Dota 2 with the name of Mars. If you wish to learn more about that, check out our blog on it.

With all of this information now open to you, we advise you not to become too attached, as, at the end of the day, they are still leaks from an unknown source who claims to be a Valve employee. Hence, It’s better to take these leaks with a grain of salt. We will be bringing you any information we come across regarding the accuracy of these leaks. So stay tuned.
