Dota 2 fans find secret trailer for the Dragon’s Blood Netflix anime
A group of keen-eyed Dota 2 fans have stumbled across a new, secret trailer for the Dragon’s Blood Netflix anime. The show hits the streaming platform at the end of the month, so marketing has begun ramping up. People began to notice, though, that each of the four posters released hold part of a QR code.
If you put them together, you find an unlisted video on Netflix’s YouTube channel that reveals Terrorblade is taking part in the show (below). The clip itself only lasts 15 seconds, but it does offer some teases as Terrorblade says that all we have to do is let him in.
Everything you need to know about The Mistwoods DOTA Update
December 17, 2020
Arise DOTA fans! Instead of moping over the cancellation of The International 2020 and spending the entire day with Diretide, fans can now witness a breath of fresh air with the newest major update in DOTA 2. Mistwoods is officially out with a new hero, a new set of items, and a plethora of surprises that will make every ranked game into a jumpscare. We will always be horrified when Monkey King, Dark Willow, and Grimstroke cheesed their way in every pub game during their initial release. Will it be the same with the newest hero?
Dota 2’s new Hero Hoodwink has arrived along with the massive Mistwoods Update
Earlier in the week, Dota 2 developer Valve announced its flagship MOBA game was in for a shiny new update on December 17 – so, this very day. The studio revealed practically nothing about the patch’s content, other than its name – “the Mistwood update” – and previously that the multiplayer game’s newest Hero would be dropping with 7.28. Now, however, we know what’s in store – the patch notes have dropped, and we’ve laid it all out for you below.
As detailed in the Dota 2 7.28 update notes, the newest addition to the character roster is Hoodwink. She’s a creature of the forest, looking like a kind of fox with a hint of red panda, and Valve lists her as a ranged nuker who specialises in escapes and disables.
