Dota 2 Players Turn to Planetary Alignment to Predict Next Patch After Crownfall's End
Dota 2's Crownfall event has concluded after a 10-month run, leaving players eagerly anticipating the next major update. The latest Crownfall Archive update, while closing out the four-act event, didn't bring the expected gameplay changes despite multiple staging updates visible on SteamDB.
Valve's cryptic message about "pointing compasses at new guiding stars" has led to interesting community speculation. One player theorizes the next patch could arrive on February 28, coinciding with a rare planetary alignment of Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury, and Saturn.
The game's last major update was Patch 7.37 on July 31, 2023, with the most recent minor update (7.37e) released on November 19. This extended period without significant changes has led to a stagnant meta with recurring overpowered hero picks.
The timing of the next update may be influenced by ongoing professional tournaments:
- BLAST Slam II concludes on February 9
- DreamLeague Season 25 begins February 16
- The week-long gap between events could provide an ideal window for patch deployment
While Valve hasn't confirmed any dates or content for the upcoming patch, the week between tournaments presents a logical opportunity for the release, allowing time to address potential bugs without disrupting competitive play.
