Dota 2 Reborn Announced
-----------The Source 2 engine brings a new interface, new engine and Custom Games.
Valve has announced a major update coming to Dota 2 called Dota 2 Reborn. It will use the new Source 2 engine with support for custom matches.
"Today we are announcing the Dota 2 Reborn Beta, which brings with it a new interface, new engine and Custom Games. Everything in the dashboard has been completely redesigned utilizing a new UI framework, and the engine that powers the game has been fully replaced. On today’s update page we will be giving you a preview of the new interface. Early next week we’ll be talking about Custom Games, and later that week we’ll conclude with various details about the new engine and launch the open beta.
Throughout the beta we’ll be releasing frequent updates in order to fix bugs and make changes based on the feedback you provide. As you browse around in the new client, you’ll notice a few things that aren’t fully functional yet. Additionally, our focus has been on the dashboard so you’ll find the in-game HUD currently looks the same."
Also players will also be able to find friends to play with thanks to a ‘one click’ invite and a 'party beacon' to broadcast their availability, as well as a feature that allows two existing teams to merge with one another. A brand new chat interface and chat rooms which will support up to 5,000 people will also be included.
Details on custom games will be posted early next week, and later in the week we’ll see more on the new engine along with the launch of the open beta. Dota 2 Reborn will leave beta "some time after The International."
