Valve Announces Dota 2 Reborn

Dota 2 is getting a complete overhaul, aiming to provide a more intuitive user experience. Valve has revealed numerous updates for Dota 2 Reborn, which includes a new interface, new engine, and all-new custom games. Dota 2 players will get their chance to preview the changes in an upcoming open beta. The official site details a dashboard redesign updating party management, invites, voice chat, and featuring a new party beacon that allows players to set themselves to “open” status and broadcasts to friends that they are looking for more party members.

Players can now interact with friends’ customizable miniprofiles and activity feeds. Friends can also compare their performance with heroes and their playstyle with the new interface.

Valve has also overhauled the hero browser, giving players the ability to filter heroes and sort sets and items available to heroes.

In addition, new information, such as detailed graphs and stats, will be available to viewers on DotaTV. Tournaments will be featured on DotaTV and viewers will have the ability to bookmark matches to watch later.

Lastly, Valve recognizes newer players have issues understanding Dota 2, so it has included new Guided Bot Matches and tutorials focusing on Dota mechanics.

Next week, Valve intends on discussing the new Custom Games, with details of the new engine and details for the open beta coming shortly after.

In related Dota 2 news, The International 2015 has exceeded $13 million, making it the largest prize pool in the history of eSports competition. For more on Dota 2, check out IGN’s MOBA podcast IGN Arena.
