Owing to the completion of <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/dota-2\/the-international\/\" title=\"TI Dota 2 betting\">The International 2022<\/a>, the timing of the release was questioned.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe new hero, Muerta, was introduced via the official YouTube channel of <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/dota-2\/\" title=\"Dota 2 betting sites\">Dota 2<\/a>. Muerta can be described as a ghostly gunslinger with strong ties to both the mortal and spiritual realms. Her head, as clearly shown in the 50-second teaser video, is a skull with marigold flowers placed around it.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe video shows Muerta pulling out a gun and thereafter transforming into a wraith-like being in the presence of ghosts. The hero will join the list of champions in early 2023, becoming the 124th member of Dota 2&#8217;s ever-expanding roster of heroes.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nAside from her magnificent designs being displayed at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on TI11 grand finals day, information regarding Muerta is somewhat limited. However, more data on the hero will probably be shared in the coming weeks.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nNevertheless, die-hard Dota 2 fans have made some assumptions, with some pegging her to be a ranged carry and others an agility-based hero, quite similar to Sniper. One fan speculated in a YouTube comment that Muerta might be given the ability to assist her team in death.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"336\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xx0YUuvW4wA\" title=\"Dota 2 - Muerta\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nValve took to Twitter to introduce the hero, describing her as a character pierced between &#8220;the living and the damned&#8221;.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n&#8220;An enduring revenant reveals herself with promises of a ruinous reckoning to follow,&#8221; the company said.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n&#8220;Pierce the veil between the living and the damned as a new hero\u2014Muerta\u2014arrives to haunt the lanes in early 2023.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An enduring revenant reveals herself with promises of a ruinous reckoning to follow.

The audience in the 12,000-capacity hall barely digested the information about the introduction of the new hero.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nNotwithstanding, the reaction to the new hero has been positive. Her design was heavily inspired by Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), the Mexican traditional holiday celebrated on November 1 and 2, annually, which explains the rushed release.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe Mournful Revenant, on the other hand, is expected to be released in the early weeks of 2023. This is to be done in close coincidence to the end of the 2022 Battle Pass, which is expected to finish on January 12.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028<a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To the excitement of fans, Valve revealed the next Dota 2 hero on October 30 &#8211; Muerta, inspired by Mexico&#8217;s Day of the Dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":25353,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17,4,2727,23],"class_list":["post-25352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-dota-2","tag-featured","tag-muerta","tag-valve"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25352"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25352"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25356,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25352\/revisions\/25356"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
