Valve has listened to community feedback when making changes to the Dota 2 Battle Pass, which has already pushed $15 million into The International 10's prize pool. While the Battle Pass is content-focused, there is a big new Dota 2 update (7.27) on the horizon as well.

It is not often that fans hear directly from IceFrog himself, but on the official Dota 2 Updates Twitter account, IceFrog spoke up. The iconic developer revealed what Dota 2 update 7.27 will focus on, at least for the first part...

While a specific release date for Dota 2 update 7.27 wasn't provided, given the timeline of "a couple of weeks" we can assume it should release at the end of June 2020.

There is no telling how big the update will be, but since IceFrog revealed the update will come in at least two parts, we should expect walls of changes in the patch notes.

It is always exciting to see a new Dota 2 update drop, especially with the previous big updates changing the metagame in significant ways.
