DOTA 2

DotA 2 is an action strategy title for the PC and Mac. It is being developed by Valve Corporation, and is the stand-alone sequel to a popular mod created for WarCraft III, called Defence of the Ancients (DotA), which is itself loosely based on a custom map for the original StarCraft, called Aeon of Strife.

The game is being developed in collaboration with 'IceFrog' - the longest serving developer of the original mod - who has taken up the reigns as the project's lead designer. DotA 2 was formally announced on Game Informer's website on October 13, 2010, and has currently been released in Beta form.
