Hot on the heels of some sweet DOTA 2 action on the weekend, which our very own Joaby soaked up like those magic bits of cloth* that you see in those infomercials, comes word of a massive 7.00 update. And it's a big one. We're talking a new character in the form of the Monkey King, a brand spanking new HUD, new talent trees, map changes, and plenty more.

There's a lot to get through, so be sure to head on over to the official DOTA 27.00 update hub to check out all the details. One of the cool new features of the new Monkey King hero is that he can actually climb trees in the game. Very cool.

Always in search of a good fight, Monkey King travels atop the trees aiming to spring from leafy cover and surprise his enemies. Calling upon an army of monkey soldiers to overwhelm opponents, this agile trickster revels in the chaos of battle, ready to slam his legendary staff down on any hopes of escape.

Perhaps the biggest new addition in the update are the new Talent Trees that let players that select augmentations like '+40 Attack Speed' and '+15 Damage' for their heroes at levels 10, 15, 20, and 25.

And when you factor in the revamped HUD, map changes and hero changes, playing DOTA 2 tomorrow is going to feel like a very different game. But, and even better one. If that's possible.

* - Which I've bought, and yes they do work. Like magic.
