The
Dota
2 blog invites us to "Enter the Haunted Colosseum" as Valve is offering
a Halloween-themed custom game in their MOBA sequel.
This page has all the
details, and here's word:
This year, we felt the best way to mark the
passage of October was to create a spooky, pumpkin-filled Custom Game. Haunted
Colosseum is a new 5-on-5 battle for territorial control, complete with Capture
Points, devilish traps, and warrior behemoths. It’s available now, you can learn
more about it here, and then launch Dota 2 to try it for yourself.
We’ve revamped the Custom Games overview page with the goal of promoting
discovery of great Custom Games, and getting people into lobbies and playing as
quickly as possible. To do that, we’ve replaced the “Suggested Games” list with
an “Open Lobby” list, and we’ve added a new panel which highlights an
automatically-chosen Game of the Day.
This update also includes the second Tribute treasure for
Fall Compendium
owners: the Tribute of the Sharpened Feather.
There are a lot of additional changes and improvements in this update, such as a
new section in your profile for showing off your tournament tickets, a way to
see and manage your downloaded replays, support for offline solo play, a new
matchmaking region in Tokyo with connectivity to Taiwan and Korea, a couple of
balance changes with 6.85b, and more. Check out the
complete notes for the
full rundown.
