Valve has
filed a trademark registration for DOTA, reports
superannuation, offering another indication that they have plans to release a
Defense of the Ancients-inspired game. Valve hired IceFrog, the developer of this
Warcraft III modification,
in October 2009, and
earlier this year IceFrog said a DOTA announcement was coming soon. Then just
last week Voiceover artist Jon St. John
tweeted of his work on a DOTA game for Valve.
