Valve appears to be plotting a trilogy of Defence Of The Ancients games.

According to two new filings with the US Patent and Trademark Office discovered by CVG, the Washington studio has grabbed the TMs for DOTA2 and DOTA3.

Wonder when this will hit Steam, IceFrog said it won't be long, and that was months ago...should be interesting to see it on the source engine.

Darkfiber5737d ago

Not sure I see the point in making 3 if they could just provide ongoing support by adding new characters and maps.

Wanderer5737d ago

I don't see the point in a trilogy.

It's not really a type of game that ages very fast anyway.

Cheeseknight285737d ago

I hope this is free, it might just have to be to compete with League of Legends and, of course, the original DotA. The original isn't free, but their target audience already owns the game and asking those people to pay for another game isn't that easy.

Hell I didn't pick up Newerth after beta simply because I wouldn't pay $30 for it. I ended up buying the Champion Bundle for LoL though simply because they gave me a system that I liked, and I knew that $20 purchase was justified. For Newerth, if the game hadn't improved at all since beta, what can I justify that $30 on?

Letros5737d ago

Pretty sure it will be free, much like Alien Swarm. Getting millions more people on Steam has side effects like them seeing deals and making purchases.

theEnemy5737d ago

Doubtful.

They maybe do some kind of what WoW did. Expansions.

I hope this game's info surfaces early next year. Warcraft DotA is getting boring and plague with maphacks. HoN and LoL ain't doing it for me.

Naso5737d ago

LoL is pretty good, but the devs don't know what they are doing. They said it them selves that the software sucks so all the new hardware they keep adding really aint doing shit. And I really don't like always having 100 ping because there are only west cost servers.

Only played HoN for a bit, but It was just dota remade to the tee with better graphics and different hero names and look.

Valve usually does things right, so I will like to see what they do with it.

Will we see Heros with silly hats? ;0

I would buy a machine that is set up to how Kirito and Asuna play games in Sword Art Online

Inverno1943d ago

The world of Sword Art is something I don't think any developer right now will ever bother attempting to create. I've seen .Hack too and the games both those anime show is something I wish someone would make. A real life simulation presented in a medieval fantasy-esque aesthetic would make me quit real life in a heart beat lol

Double_O_Revan1944d ago

Software might be really buggy though...

Profchaos1943d ago

Maybe and maybe the flying car bug was really just a prediction of flying car software failure.

ScootaKuH1943d ago

If reality moves at 3 frames per second that is 😉

Kabaneri1943d ago

That sounds cool but imagine the social consequences some people would get really attached to that alternate reality.

Lore1943d ago

Dwight in Second Life comes to mind

Extermin8or3_1943d ago

Automate farming systems abd have computers feed us through tubes and live theblife you want.... lol wait what if the Matrix Is real? :?o :p

AFKghost1943d ago

I really dont give a flying monkey doodoo about all this futurism bs. Its really just sad, old timers on their way out desperately trying to stay relevant when they should have been making good games for the last 20 years.
