On May 1st Valve announce that due to the virus, valve will delay the release of the battle pass for a "couple of weeks" along side the news about the annual event which is The International will be held next year.
They're working on it on their homes and will certainly make their progress way slower than expected.
It has been two weeks since the announcement. There's no further announcement in sight at this time.
I hope that the battle pass will be longer duration than its older iterations for The International next year.
Due to the virus taking its toll in our wallets.
By making the battle pass event longer they could just maybe beat last year's Prize Pool of around $34 million for making sure that the players have the time to save their money for getting back to work after the quarantine.
The release date is still unknown but I speculate it would be around this week or next month depending on what stage of development valve are on.
Hope it will be sooner for the bored community to stay satisfied for longer periods of time.
For now wait until there's confirmation of the release date. That's it for now, stay safe everyone!
Here is the full text announcement from valve on May 1st.
"After extensive consideration of the global health emergency stemming from COVID-19, we have made the difficult choice to delay The International. We have been exploring various date possibilities, but it is likely that the event will need to happen in 2021. Given the highly volatile landscape for local gathering restrictions, virus trajectory, and global travel policies, we don’t expect to have enough confidence to communicate firm dates in the near future. In the meantime, we are working on restructuring the DPC season for the fall, and will be providing more information as soon as we have it.
The 10th International prize pool will be funded by 25% of sales of the next Battle Pass, which we are planning to release soon instead of closer to the event itself. However, with our team working from home and things taking longer to complete, the release date of the Battle Pass will be at least a couple of weeks later than usual.
We hope everyone in the Dota community is staying as safe as possible, and look forward to a time when we can once again welcome everyone to enjoy the spectacle of The International."
