Savage developer S2 Games is ready to bring its take on the defence of the Ancients Warcraft III scenario to the masses, with the launch of the Heroes of Newerth open beta.
What started as a modification of Warcraft III by a group of fans has turned into an ambitious free-to-play PC strategy title packed with a surprising amount of tactics in an easy to pick-up-and-play package.
The evolution of Defense of the Ancients is now freely available, as Riot Games opens up the beta for League of Legends in advance of its October 27th “pre-season” launch.
Valve has made a hire that should perk up the ears of the Warcraft III mod community, as “IceFrog”, the current developer of ultra popular defence of the Ancients Allstars, has found gainful employment at the house of Half-Life.
