Valve suddenly announced a new game
Source:
From Valve we no longer expect anything new in terms of video games. Gabe Newell is mired in the development of the created ecosystem on Steam, and in the promotion of games of Dota and organization of large-scale eSports tournaments with huge prize pools. From time to time it cuts out time on the creation of new "irons" like a Steam Link or virtual reality. But that's right the official announcement of a new game, and even from Valve? To this life we are not ready. But do not rejoice too soon. Not everything is as rosy as some might think.
No. Dreams remain just dreams. Announced was not the long-awaited continuation of adventures of Gordon Freeman. And not even a new Portal. In the framework of The International 2017 on a huge screen, the audience saw the game Artifact. According to the PostScript at the end of the short teaser, it becomes clear that this is just a collectible card game based on the hugely popular Dota. The game is scheduled for 2018. Some viewers posted a video reaction to the announcement of the game. At the beginning of the teaser, the crowd exploded with enthusiastic shouts, waiting for the announcement of the sequel to one of Valve's franchises. But when it became clear that we are talking only about the card game, the room was swept with a roar, which clearly resembled disappointment.
Some inhabitants of the forum Reddit has already managed to see a working prototype of the game Artifact in action. Card games will take place on three different boards, created in the likeness of Dota map. A player will be five different characters, which you can buy gear for gold. Of course, no cost and without the various special abilities of the characters, directly affecting the course of the game. You can play cards of different creatures, and some cards castout on the playing field of different effects.
Gabe Newell in a recent interview that the development at Valve are currently several large games, as well as projects for virtual reality. I want to believe that the remaining Artifact after the announcement of the games are spin-offs of Dota. But if it's true – only time will tell.
