Defense Of The Ancients 2 Is Valve's Next Game
DotA 2 will be Valve's next game. If you don't know, they are the guys who made the Orange Box and if you didn't know, the original Defense of the Ancients was a mod of Warcraft III that grew very popular.
Valve has decided to take on the challenge of releasing this game in hopes of winning the fans of the preceding RTS and bringing them to Steam's side. Each player is given a hero who is used to control armies that are pitted against each other to conquer land and gold.
The sequel will be based off of Valve's Source engine and allow voice-chat and Steamworks achievements.
