The fourth act of The Fallen Crown in Dota 2 may begin on 1 November, as reported by the creator of the 'Dota Stepan's' channel and Team Spirit analyst Mark 'sikle' Lerman on Telegram following a small game client update.
According to sikle, Valve has addressed a bug in the patch that previously allowed players to access the fourth act of The Fallen Crown early. He also mentioned that the 1 November date might simply be a placeholder, not reflecting the actual launch timing of the new chapter.
The 'Dota Stepan's' channel further noted that the fourth act of The Fallen Crown is expected to conclude on 30 December. Additionally, the winter-themed event Frostivus is scheduled for the same month.
The first part of The Fallen Crown was released in mid-April 2024, followed by the second part in mid-May. Initially, the third act was set to launch in June, but Valve delayed the release to an unexpected "39th" date. Ultimately, the third act was released on the night of 10 July. Valve has also previously announced the introduction of a new hero, expected to debut in the fourth act of the event.
