Dota 2 Set to Kick Off Christmas Frostivus Event

Dota 2 is just about ready to kick off its Frostivus event, which as you can surely guess by the name and by the timing, is Christmas themed.

The Frostivus page suggests that the event will launch on December 21, as it references the "longest night of the year," winter solstice.

Players will be able to "celebrate wreath-night" by collecting bright winter berries and sprigs of fir, and "twist them together into mementos for family and friends," hinting that players will be able to collect stuff in-game and craft special items with them during the celebration.

Also to be implemented is some sort of Frostivus Wish-List so friends and foes alike will be able to "play the rule of Furtive Frostus" gifting them with stuff.

Perhaps Antimage would like a Beginner's Box o' Magic! How about an electric blanket to warm the knees of Ancient Apparition? Maybe Lifestealer would like a new master! However you choose to celebrate the season, the byword is relaxation. There is nothing more to worry about, nothing you need to do. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

We'll keep our ears close to the ground as the date approaches.
