Valve's latest Steam update teases DOTA 2 'to be delivered soon'

The arrival of DOTA 2 is ”soon” according to Valve’s news piece on the new and improved systems for Steam delivering games and other content.

It’s unclear how soon ‘soon’ actually is but Gamescom takes place next month in Germany. The studio is set to showcase a game under the ‘strategy’ category.

”Over time, more and more of the content on Steam will be delivered using this new system. Soon, Dota 2 will be delivered using it,” teased Valve on their website. The studio is an exhibitor at Gamescom and DOTA 2 is a real-time strategy title - will it appear?

Will this Dawn of the Ancients mod ‘sequel’ be free-to-play? Gamescom takes place from August 17th to the 21st, with the event open to the public from the 18th.
