Valve has been actively providing the Dota 2 community with content—whether it's a massive, game-changing update or heaps of lore, minigames, and rewards through the Crownfall chronicles. We are currently on Act II: The Deserts of Druud, which was released on May 22. So when will the next chapter unlock? Here's everything we know about Crownfall Act III's release date and its contents.
Crownfall Act III release date
Valve announced that Crownfall Act III will unlock in late June. However, it may face some delays as Valve is unsure of the exact release date, humorously placing a question mark at the end of it.
The previous Crownfall Act II was also scheduled to be released in mid-May but was pushed back slightly to the final week of the month. The gap between Crownfall Act I and Act II was roughly 38 days. If we follow the same timeframe, Crownfall Act III will likely be released on Saturday, June 29th.
What will arrive in Crownfall Act III?
The third chapter of Crownfall is titled The Frosts of Icewrack. The theme takes players into Icewrack, a familiar place in Dota 2 lore where heroes like Crystal Maiden, Tusk, and Winter Wyvern reside. From the desert, we will seemingly delve deeper into the Skywrath Mage x Vengeful Spirit lore journey and interact with these frosty heroes.
Crownfall's Act III will likely introduce a new set of tokens and features similar to Scraps in Act II. Players are also hoping to see a new version of the fishing game in Crownfall. Snow fishing? Ice fishing? Regardless, it will be just as challenging, if not more.
As usual, a new lineup of quests and rewards will come in Act III. This likely includes more hero stickers, chatwheels, exclusive cosmetics, and the highly-anticipated Collector's Cache treasure.
But most excitingly (we are tired of saying this) the new Dota 2 hero, Ringmaster, might FINALLY be arriving. The Hero is undoubtedly facing significant delays as it was scheduled to be released in early 2024. We are now entering mid-year with no information about the new hero. Could Crownfall Act III be the moment Ringmaster drops?
