I’m a pretty big fan of League of Legends, so when I heard this I got excited. Valve hired the creator of the Defense of the Ancients mod last year, and now the voice behind Duke Nukem has tweeted he was in Seattle visiting Valve to do some “recording for DotA.” Hope we hear some more on this soon!
There have been a few DotA-style games released already, including the popular League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth, but if Valve's collaboration with Icefrog is actually called Defense of the Ancients, it could be even closer to the classic game than any of the full-scale competitors.
