Dota Underlords will launch on Feb. 25. The official release of the game will mark the end of the beta and the beginning of season 1, which will include a new patch that adds a new Underlord to the game named Enno.

Dota Underlords has been in beta for the better part of eight months, but Valve has finally let fans know the games official release date. The company has announced that Dota Underlords will be leaving beta on Feb. 25. That date is also set to be the first day of Underlords season 1. This means that Valve will release a new patch for the game, which includes balance changes and a brand-new Underlord, on that day.
The games newest Underlord is called Enno, a ranged character that brings with him a wide variety of different poison-based attacks. Poison is a new status effect for this patch that will deal 15 physical damage per second and reduce healing. Poison can stack up to five times.
Outside of Enno, Dota Underlords season 1 patch doesnt bring too many changes with it. Valve is fixing a couple of bugs with the Jull and Hobgen Underlords, who werent interacting with Spiderlings correctly in previous patches. Theres also a change to Venomancer that will make its Venomous Gale ability now apply the new poison effect. Valve is updating the Orb of Venom item to apply poison as well.
For a full look at all the changes coming to Dota Underlords with the season 1 update, you can find the official patch notes below.
