Dota 2 releases thirteen FREE sets of old to celebrate the Dota 2 10-Year Anniversary – check out all of them here!
Valve finally dropped the Dota 2 10-Year Anniversary Treasure featuring thirteen nostalgic cosmetics. Each Treasure is a retouched piece from each year that Dota has existed from 2011 to 2023.
How to get the 10-Year Anniversary Treasures
Win a Dota 2 game and you'll get one of the thirteen cosmetics from the 10-Year Anniversary Treasure. Win thirteen games and you'll get all!
From today until September 7 (20 days), players have a chance to get free sets from the Dota 2 10-Year Anniversary Treasure. While in previous Battle Passes, players have to purchase levels to acquire sets and cosmetics, this time around, players only have to win games! (Not that it's much easier..)
Winning a Dota game will grant you a commemorative treasure containing one of thirteen special items tied to each of Dota’s storied years. All you need to do is keep winning Dota games until you’ve collected all thirteen.
All sets in the 10-Year Anniversary Treasure
There are thirteen retouched sets from 2011 to 2023, one from each year. The Treasure consists of not only hero sets, but couriers, chat lines, Roshan, and even a Tormentor set! There are three Immortal sets, three Legendary sets, and two seasonal items.
Here's a closer look at all the 10-Year Anniversary Treasures.
- 2011 - 10th Anniversary Dolfrat and Roshinante
"Old school Dota fans spent 2011 playing the open beta and taking in the first incarnation of The International. One or two players even encountered a bug. Thankfully we identified the sole wizard responsible and used him to deflect all the blame."
- 2012 - 10th Anniversary The Alpine Stalker’s Set
"Some item sets are iconic from the first day they appear. Others are a bit more...controversial. This bundle somehow managed to be both. Transport yourself back to the simpler days of 2012, when a bear in a Bavarian hat managed to get an entire community's lederhosen in a twist."
- 2013 - 10th Anniversary Relic Sword
"Three years in, and just getting started, Dota 2 emerged from beta for an official release. We didn't just add a bunch of heroes in 2013, we also took Skeleton King away -- for ceremonial reasons -- and released the completely different Wraith King in his place."
- 2014 - 10th Anniversary Filmtail
"2014 was a magical time, when we could have it all. Movies. Games. Movies about games. Specifically, we had a Dota documentary to show friends and family that they might actually understand."
- 2015 - 10th Anniversary Bindings of Deep Magma (Two styles)
"In a year of epic Dota, one earthshaking moment in 2015 stands above them all: when EG slam-blasted CDEC out of Roshan's pit and out of The International -- rolling on to claim the Aegis with the victory."
This Earthshaker set comes in two styles, one in a blue hue and the other in a golden red hue. This set comes with unique Ability Icons, Animation, and Custom Effects. You'll also get a Wallpaper alongside the set.
- 2016 - 10th Anniversary Staff of Gun-Yu
"In December 2016, the 7.00 countdown closed out the broadcast of The Boston Major. It celebrated Dota's long history and set the stage for Monkey King and The New Journey to come."
This weapon cosmetic also comes with a unique Ability Icon, Custom Effects, Animation, and its own Sound.
- 2017 - 10th Anniversary Heaven Piercing Pauldrons

"New game modes packed the calendar in 2017, as players started the year fending off relentless waves of enemies in Dark Moon, entered the summer surviving the brutally difficult Siltbreaker campaign, and queued up at the end of the year for a quicker Dota fix in Turbo mode."
- 2018 - 10th Anniversary Gabe Newell Chat Lines
"Please email me at [email protected] and tell me about your rampage." With these immortal, stupid lines from his 2018 announcer pack, Valve's founder shocked everyone by both giving his real email address and actually being interested in hearing about our rampages."
This Chat Line pack gives you 11 chat lines voiced by Valve's CEO himself, Gabe Newell. These are the chat lines:
- "10th Anniversary"
- "View the treasure"
- "I am very proud of you"
- "You are doing very well, I am very proud of you!"
- "That was unreal!"
- "Goodness!"
- "This is a good opportunity to learn!"
- "Making mistakes is the path to wisdom."
- "You're a beautiful person with a charming personality"
- "You can't improve until you make mistakes"
- "I've always wanted a to be a giant space crab"
- 2019 - 10th Anniversary Hidden Vector
"For the longest time, there were only three spirit brothers -- Earth Spirit, Ember Spirit, and Storm Spirit. "Not enough!" said spirit fans. "We demand one more!" And we listened. On August 24th, 2019, Void Spirit made his debut onstage at The International in Shanghai."
This set also gives a unique ability icon and custom effects for Astral Step.
- 2020 - 10th Anniversary Aghanim’s Roshan
"Not a very eventful year, but notable in that there was no the International. Instead, Dota players consoled themselves in 2020 inside the winding corridors of Aghanim's Lab, where they finally got a chance to meet the eponymous creator of Aghanim's Scepter and discover that he was kind of full of himself.
This custom Roshan replacement can be equipped in the World options of the Global items loadout menu."
- 2021 - 10th Anniversary Mirana Persona Bundle
"After watching DOTA: Dragon's Blood in 2021 and getting a chance to meet Filomena, players felt a lot less smug about helping Selemene during Dark Moon way back in 2017."
This set comes with unique Ability Icons, Custom Effects, and a different hero Icon.
- 2022 - 10th Anniversary Shader Effect 2023
This is a Seasonal item which means it will expire once the 10-Year Anniversary event is over.
"You might notice that every other item in this treasure has a thematic connection to the year it celebrates and 2022 is no exception: Here is a CRT Screen overlay so it looks like you're playing Dota but in the 90s. Just like in 2022."
- 2023 - 10th Anniversary Tormentor
This is a Seasonal item which means it will expire once the 10-Year Anniversary event is over.
"Some things never change. But Dota is not one of those never-changing things. It still receives seismic updates after more than a dozen years, and the next monumental meta shift -- be it through gameplay updates or good old fashioned player-driven innovation -- is always just days away."
If there are sets that you are interested in (or you just love free stuff) then log into the game and win some pubs to get your hands on the thirteen treasures!
