Valve has pulled the curtain away from their next title, and it's not the long-awaited Half-Life 2: Episode 3. No, Valve instead announced Defense of the Ancients 2 (technically DotA 2 for future reference), which will be coming to PC and Mac sometime in 2011. For those who are confused, let Valve explain what the title is all about. The company behind Half-Life and Left for Dead has described DotA 2 as "a massive sequel to one of the most played games in the world." In retrospect, DotA 2 will be a continuation of a popular real-time strategy game that focuses on players controlling their herds of minions. 

Game Informer has the first bits of information regarding the game, stating that the game runs of Valve's much-hailed Source engine. Voice chat is also included with the game as well, along with gameplay that seems to be quite faithful to the series' roots. Steam-works achievements will be available as well to coincide with the title's vast community.

DotA 2 also will be having one the series' lead designers on Valve's iteration. IceHog, as he called, was a lead developer/designer before he was hired by Valve last year. He previously was working on maintaining the recent version of the game, DotA: All Stars.

If screens or videos are released, Gameshoe will update as soon as possible. Stay tuned.
