Dota 2 games are being interrupted and fans think Primal Beast is on the way

Valve is gearing up for the next major Dota 2 update - patch 7.31 - and there's evidence building to suggest that Primal Beast, a boss from Aghanim's Labyrinth, is going to be introduced as the next playable hero. Players have been speculating about this for a while and it looks like an official announcement is on the way.

Earlier today, in preparation for the release of patch 7.31 on February 23, Valve deployed a minor title update for Dota 2. The update itself appeared normal, but players are witnessing an abnormal in-game event following its release - and it only builds on the rumours that Primal Beast is going to be officially announced and introduced to Dota 2's roster soon.

In the opening stages of Dota 2 games following the minor update, roughly at the 1:20 mark of the pre-match countdown, a global event is occurring that stuns all players - Radiant and Dire. As they're being stunned, a strange roar sounds off across the battlefield. The stun doesn't actually affect gameplay and only lasts a few moments, but it's raising eyebrows and players are taking this strange occurrence as a sign that Primal Beast is on the way.
