DOTA, one of the first stars of the MOBA world, could not get enough of the success with its second game. Dota 2, who turns 9 this year, seems to have put one of her best years behind her. Dota 2, which saw an increase in player numbers during the pandemic, remains on the rise despite the bans being lifted.
The game reached a peak of 786,118 simultaneous players in January 2022, one step away from the 793,135 players it reached in May 2020. While it is not known why this rise occurred, we believe that the second season of Netflix’s Dota animation has had an impact on this figure.
If you recall, the first season of the animation had a similar effect on the game. However, it was noted that the number of games of Dragon Knight, which is the subject of the series, did not increase. However, let us also state that we believe that 2022 will be one of the best years of Dota 2.
