DotA 2

MOBA sequel coming “soon”.

We haven’t heard anything from the DotA 2 team since last November, so anything new on the game is worth noting at this point. At the last paragraph of a recent news announcing Valve’s plans to dominate gamers’ hard drives even further with speedier game downloads, Valve said this: “Soon, Dota 2 will be delivered using it.” But coming from Valve, “soon” could be anywhere from 2 months to 9 years to never. I’d keep my fingers crossed.
