During the final day of TI 12, The Ringmaster took the spotlight just before the day's matches began. The reveal of this hero left the Dota 2 community in awe, as the developers unleashed one of the most exciting teaser trailers for a new hero.

When Will The Ringmaster Be Released? 

As for the release date of The Ringmaster, it's still uncertain. The teaser trailer provided a loose release window with a cryptic message: "No hero is safe: 2024." However, this vague timeframe doesn't clarify whether he'll arrive in the first or second half of the year.

Since the trailer lacked actual gameplay, it's safe to assume that his release is still quite a way off. Although The Ringmaster's appearance suggests a character based on traps, puppets and circuis attractions.
