Have you heard? has just launched a new video game, Sleet Fighter, which you can start playing immediately. The game is a DOTA 2-themed 2D fighter that seamlessly integrates into the popular MOBA.

On July 9, Valve's hit game, DOTA 2, got an exciting update as part of its Crownfall season. This season introduces a fresh way for Valve to deliver updates and rewards to DOTA 2 players. The Crownfall event is divided into different acts, and on Tuesday, Valve released Act Three, the latest major update for DOTA 2. Among the new features in this update is a small but impressively crafted fighting game that uses DOTA characters and settings.

Introducing Sleet Fighter

According to Dot Esports, this new fighting game is called Sleet Fighter (clever, right?). It's a 2D fighter featuring five characters from DOTA. Each character comes with a complete move set, and the game offers both single-player and multiplayer modes. You can play online against friends or locally using a second controller.

It's incredible how polished Sleet Fighter looks based on gameplay videos circulating on YouTube and . This isn't just a quick-browser game; it's a real mini-fighting game with leaderboards and rewards. You can tell it's a serious fighting game because the community has already started creating tier lists and debating them in the comments. Players are also compiling move lists and analyzing frame data. This kind of engagement truly defines a fighting-game community!

It's almost disheartening to think Valve has put so much effort into creating this fighting game for DOTA 2, only to disappear when Crownfall ends in October. However, it might stick around. Given the positive feedback, Valve might consider investing more in it and keeping it as a permanent feature within DOTA 2.

  1. Download and install DOTA 2 first.
  2. Don't worry, it's free.
  3. After launching the game, navigate to Act Three's “The Frosts of Icewrack” section on the home screen. You'll need to progress through the story mode before finding “Sleet Fighter 2: Immortal Combat” at a decision point in the game.
