Dota 2's Crownfall event has concluded after a 10-month run, leaving players eagerly anticipating the next major update. The recent Crownfall Archive update, while bringing closure to the four-act event, didn't include the hoped-for gameplay changes despite multiple staging updates visible on SteamDB.

Valve's cryptic message about "pointing compasses at new guiding stars" has sparked speculation within the community. One player theorizes that February 28 might be the release date for the next patch, coinciding with a rare alignment of seven planets—Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury, and Saturn.

The last major gameplay update, Patch 7.37, was released six months ago on July 31, with the most recent minor update (7.37e) arriving three months ago on November 19. This extended period without significant changes has led to a stagnant meta with recurring overpowered hero selections.

The timing of the next update may be influenced by ongoing professional tournaments. With BLAST Slam II concluding on February 9 and DreamLeague Season 25 starting February 16, the week-long gap could provide an ideal window for implementing and debugging a new patch. However, Valve has previously released updates during tournaments, as demonstrated with Patch 7.37 during Elite League Season Two.

Currently, there's no official confirmation from Valve regarding the timing or content of the next update, leaving the community to continue their astronomical observations and speculations.
