Valve released a trailer earlier today during The International 7 that revealed two new heroes coming to the game.

The trailer begins by showing the first new hero—who closely resembles Puss in Boots from the Shrek movie franchise. This sword-wielding creature appears to be a protector of the forest.

As the trailer is about to end, however, the second new hero enters the fray—a pink fairy. The first hero assures the fairy that the forest is safe, but she doesn’t agree.

The rumored names for these heroes are Zorro Armadillo and Sylph, but this isn’t confirmed by Valve at this time.

These will be the first new heroes in Dota 2 since Monkey King was added to the game on Dec. 12, 2016.
