Crownfall Act IV, The Spires of Skywrath, has arrived in Dota 2 at last.
Crownfall Act IV has finally arrived in Dota 2, and with it comes one of the biggest and most exciting additions to the MOBA — a new hero, Kez.
Kez was previewed during The International 2024 but players were forced to wait as Valve constantly delayed the Crownfall patch. Originally Act IV was to be released in September, then October, then it was hinted at November but no date was given. Finally, on Nov. 6, Valve relented and released The Spires of Skywrath, the much-anticipated conclusion to the Crownfall saga.
Below you'll find the full patch notes for Crownfall Act IV and the release of Kez.
Dota 2 Crownfall Act IV full patch notes
Kez has arrived, at last!
Announced at TI 2024, Kez is the 126th hero to join the Dota 2 roster. A flightless Kazumi, Kez is an Agility-carry hero focusing on mobility and damage. He is unique because he can switch between two weapons, a Katana and a Sai, each granting him different abilities and effects.
Dota 2 fans have had to wait for Kez for a short while. He's the first hero since Ringmaster who arrived in August, but before that, players were waiting over two years for a new addition to the roster.
We've got a short preview of Kez's abilities below, but we've included all the details in our full skills and lore piece here.

Crownfall Act IV: The Spires of Skywrath
Act IV of Crownfall is now live, with Kez, Skywrath Mage, Vengeful Spirit, and the crew beginning their assault against the Queensguard and taking on Queen Imperia herself.
This act works much like the other three; play Dota, earn tokens, and progress through the maze until you reach the ultimate fight at the end. For Act IV, there are multiple paths for players to begin and heaps of rewards to earn!
Act IV's release means the entirety of Crownfall is now available to all players. For those that are late to the party, don't fret — you'll have plenty of time to go back and complete the past Acts and receive all the rewards.
Remember, VikingDOTA's service for Crownfall has been updated and included the final act of Crownfall in case you don't have the time to complete it. We're also run a 15% discount code for our Crownfall service automatically, you can select and run the service here
Valve also unveiled the end date for Crownfall: January 15, 2025. You've got about two months to complete each act before it all goes away!
