Though beta testing of DOTA 2 should commence soon, the release of Valve's Defense of the Ancients sequel is probably not going to happen until next year, reports GameSpot. They promise a full interview with Gabe Newell soon, but for now say: "As for the not-so-good news, Valve has said that it is looking increasingly unlikely that DOTA 2 will see wide release in 2011, as was originally planned. Speaking to GameSpot, company cofounder and managing director Gabe Newell said DOTA 2 is now expected to be available in early 2012."
