Dota 2 will host a special New Bloom Festival this week, as the fresh in-game event will bring a big challenge to players, complete with exclusive rewards and all sorts of other goodies.

Dota 2 saw the special Wraith Night in-game event over the winter holidays and now, in honor of the Chinese New Year, Valve is apparently holding another great celebration, in the form of the New Bloom Festival.

According to the official page set up for the event, players will have to battle the Year Beast in a special new cooperative mode, although in order to actually meet it, they must find Flamesalt Ingots which can be fashioned into trinkets and weapons that can help them in the new battle.

Special rewards are up for grabs, including the special Redhoof couriers, but also plenty of other items.

Unfortunately, it's unclear when the New Bloom Festival begins, so expect to hear a bit more about it soon.
