Over the past couple of days, the entire Dota 2 community was struck with a ton of Pudge Arcana leaks and information along with the introduction of some very weird changes like a level 2 for Aghanim’s Scepter and a possible release of Dota 3. However, they were all part of the same April Fool’s Day prank which has been teasing and frustrating the fans for the past couple of years.

With that infuriating day behind us, it seems like Valve had exciting news waiting for us on the other side. The Pudge Arcana is finally here, and we have to say, it looks just awesome and amazing.

Pudge Arcana comes with a custom dismember effect depending on the hero type: meat, ethereal, ice, electric, stone, fire, metal, goo and wood. Check em out!! #Dota2 pic.twitter.com/Q8uTV6RYmr — Wykrhm Reddy (@wykrhm) April 4, 2018

Dota 2 Pudge Arcana

Since The International 2017, everyone who plays Dota 2 has been desperately waiting for the release of the next Arcana. And with Pudge, winning the battle with the most number of votes, it was him who was set to receive the next biggest cosmetic skin in Dota 2.

But since Valve has been pretty laid back with details regarding the possible release of the Arcana, the community was all the more disappointed. Now, Valve has just released its Feast of Abscession Update which brings with it the Arcana. It is now available for all to purchase.

“With today’s update, the butcher’s got a whole new set of tools as the Pudge Arcana makes its grand debut. Featuring all-new custom animations and effects—including multiple Dismember animations, a Hook Streak counter, hundreds of new VO responses, and more—the Feast of Abscession gives Pudge a host of new ways to sink his hooks into all that fresh meat wandering the battlefield.” – Offical Post

Furthermore, as we all know, Pudge won the voting by a very slim margin, the developers have released a second unlockable skin style for the Pudge Arcana in memory of the voting competition’s runner-up, Rubick. The second style takes inspiration from Rubick’s persona. It features green accents instead of the original red. Players can unlock the second style skin by winning 12 games against Rubick.
