DotA 2: Update 7.31 Release Date + Patch Notes

DotA 2’s Update 7.31 is looking to be a big one, delivering changes that could potentially shake the entire meta. Some games yesterday experienced an unusual event. For no reason, both teams were stunned before the roar of the Primal Beast erupted throughout the map. Valve has done similar Easter eggs in the past before the introduction of a significant change to the game.

Release Date

The scheduled release of 7.31 is on Wednesday, February 23, 2022. The time for the release is:

  • Noon PST
  • 3:00 PM EST
  • 8:00 PM GMT

DotA 2 Anticipated Changes

While specific buffs and nerfs will only release after the update, players expect Hero balance changes for the entire roster. Patches usually lead to updates for every hero to change the gameplay experience and hopefully shake up the meta. Here are some new things expected to come with 7.31:

  • Brand new neutral items
  • Experience/gold changes for both lanes jungle and lane
  • Rework of Techies Demolitions
  • Aghanim’s Scepter and Shards Remake
  • Tournament Mode Adds Marci
  • Significant Map Changes

What About The Primal Beast?

The Primal Beast was a part of Aghanim’s Labyrinth event. Some players believe that the roar indicates that the beast will become a new addition to the DotA roster. Some cited that Sun Wukong and Phoenix had similar introductions.

Others believe that the map changes will lead to the Primal Beast becoming a new objective alongside Roshan. It could become another guard of Roshan’s items.

For now, the speculation and hype are high. People are excited, and part of the appeal of DotA is the changes that no one expects.
