Overview
- Valve confirmed Rem as the initial addition from the Old Gods, New Blood update after a community vote set the release order for six heroes.
- Rem’s kit includes Pillow Toss for knockback and self-cooldown reduction, Tag Along for jump-to-ally napping heals, and Lil Helpers that buff allies or complete chores.
- Ultimate ability Naptime applies a large-area sleep effect that slows movement, shortens dashes, disables movement abilities, penetrates walls, and deals damage on wake.
- SteamDB recorded a 24-hour peak of 98,887 players following Rem’s debut, a sharp rise from recent averages in the 20,000–30,000 range.
- The update will roll out the remaining five heroes in two-per-week batches over three weeks, with Graves, Silver, Celeste, Venator, and Apollo next in line.
