During Valve’s esports event “The International” yesterday, the publisher released a teaser trailer for its brand new game. Sorry folks, it isn’t Half Life 3. It is, in fact, Artifact, a digital card game based on the DOTA franchise.
Valve didn’t waste any time with its new announcement, waiting until only the second day of the event to drop a teaser trailer for this new spin-off. Although fans of DOTA have been dreaming up a DOTA-themed card game similar to Blizzard’s Hearthstone for years, some of the crowd weren’t shy about voicing their underwhelmed reaction to the brief snippet.
Apart from the name and logo, we weren’t given too much in the way of details. There weren’t any screenshots or gameplay footage to give us any clues as to how this upcoming card game will play. What we do know is that former Double Fine developer and current Valve Gameplay Programmer Brad Muir (Iron Brigade, Massive Chalice) revealed he’s been working on the project “for a while now”.
