The Dark Carnival season in Dota 2 may be supplemented with mini-games focused on specific heroes. According to information from cybersport.ru, the first candidates are Hoodwink and Pudge.
Dark Carnival launched on June 26 and opens with the first chapter, Midnight Run, where the main characters of the story are Legion Commander and Hoodwink – they find themselves trapped in the Ringmaster's circus train. A themed skin, Toy Pudge, has already appeared for Pudge in the season.
Mini-games are one of the key elements of Dark Carnival. Valve has already added a separate tab where previous mini-games from past seasons are stored. The season's mechanics resemble Crownfall: players collect tickets by fighting with specific heroes in pubs and progress along the reward track.
It is worth noting that earlier information emerged that a bug with the carnival pie in Dark Carnival was causing match disconnects – Valve promptly fixed the issue.
