Dota 2: The Dark Carnival Event and Midnight Run Have Begun
Dota 2's new event, The Dark Carnival, and the narrative-focused Midnight Run mode invite players on a mysterious adventure with Legion Commander and Hoodwink.
The Dota 2 universe is expanding with The Dark Carnival, a brand-new event that pulls players into a dark and mystery-filled story. Focusing on the experiences of our heroes, Legion Commander and Hoodwink, who wake up with no memories on a prison train controlled by the Ringmaster, this content offers players a fresh experience that is both strategic and story-driven. The first phase of the event, Midnight Run, is now available to all players completely free of charge.
Midnight Run: A New Story Experience
Midnight Run is not just a game mode, but also a massive narrative piece featuring voiced sequences and spider-legged robotic convoys. Players control Legion Commander and Hoodwink as they attempt to unravel the secrets within this dark game set up by the Ringmaster. If you are curious about the lore, you can learn more about the history of this complex world through the special comic book that has been released. However, for those who want to jump straight into the action, the story can be experienced in-game without any prior preparation.
Visual Feast and New Rewards
The five brand-new Automaton Personas added to the game with the update reimagine classic Dota heroes with a mechanical twist. These new skins will completely transform your heroes with entirely different animations, special visual effects, and updated icons. Additionally, 20 new hero sets are arriving with this update. Some of these sets can be found in new treasure chests, while others can be earned directly by exploring the Midnight Run map and completing story quests. The Dark Carnival is just the beginning; the development team states that many more surprises await players within Midnight Run in the coming days.
