DOTA 2 Halloween update: ‘Haunted Colosseum’
Pudge, Warlock, Bane and many other characters of DOTA 2 are stoked and hyped because their favorite time of the year is upon them. That magical night when they can reveal themselves to the world without being considered monsters when they can express themselves and enjoy their cookies, Halloween.
But Valve has not forgotten about us gamers and DOTA 2 lovers, they want to unite us with our favorite characters in a new custom game map. So to acknowledge this murderous holiday what could have been better than “a spooky, pumpkin-filled Custom Game.” Of course it could be exciting to dress up for Halloween and go trick-or-treating but wouldn’t it be better to stay at home in your cozy PJ’s and play DOTA’s Halloween custom game? After all our favorite characters will keep us safe from the monsters of Halloween(Kappa).
The custom game is called ‘Haunted Colosseum’ and there is a 5v5 battle for territorial supremacy. The game also is filled with features like Devilish traps, capture points and warrior behemoths and it is ultimately a battle filled with a evil and treacherous acts. To win the match you have to be the first team to score 500 points by stealing and misleading your opponents.
Alongside the ‘Haunted Colosseum’ this new update came with other changes and improvements as well. For example the Tribute of the Sharpened Feather which Fall compendium owners were expecting has been included and also the custom games page has been upgraded.This being said head on to DOTA 2 and try out the ‘Haunted Colosseum’ for yourself.
Firaxis, the strategy game studio behind XCOM (the reboots) and Civilization, laid off employees. According to Axios, 30 Take-Two Interactive-owned and 2K Games-published employees were laid off.
After a streak of hits (XCOM 2, Civ 6), the studio’s most recent release, the XCOM-inspired, card-powered Marvel’s Midnight Suns, was a critical hit but a commercial disaster.
The Marvel IP didn’t attract core gamers to strategic games. This is unfortunate because local critics virtually all agree Midnight Suns is great and made by a renowned company. How could it be anything else when directed by Jake Solomon, the most imaginative strategic mind among Sid “The Father of Computer Gaming” Meir’s personally mentored acolytes and true successor to a legacy as old as the medium?
Metal Gear Delta: Snake Eater will reuse the original voice lines, which isn’t surprising as the original voice cast is returning.
Tommy Williams, Konami America’s chief of communications, verified the story for the Verge. We’re sure David Hayter has the most work, but reuniting the gang wasn’t simple.
He also confirmed that the title triangle is pronounced “delta.” In mathematics, the fourth letter of the ancient Greek alphabet represents change without modifying structure.
Kojima wasn’t involved with the project. Do you like this tribute? Do you prefer modern script or antique lines?
Indie games are sold through Devolver Digital, the industry’s most colorful and eccentric publisher. Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest will host a fresh showcase on June 8 at 3 p.m. PT or 11 p.m. BST. Devolver Digital’s odd metanarrative format will make things unpleasant.
If you’re unfamiliar, we recommend going alone. Games will exist—likely well-curated ones. Last year’s screening introduced us to the adorable Aussie indie Cult of the Lamb, which became a cult smash.
