Valve is said to be collaborating with the developer of Dota, IceFrog, on a new Dota 2 spin-off project called Neon Prime. Valve working on a new project is always an intriguing prospect, but rumors and leaks about its work are very untrustworthy. This is primarily due to Valve’s penchant for cancelling games or retooling projects, rendering even correct claims untrustworthy. However, there is some excitement about the supposed Neon Prime game that begs to be investigated more.
Dota 2 is still one of Valve’s most successful continuing projects. The MOBA and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive alternate as the most popular games on Steam. Furthermore, The International remains one of the most watched esports tournaments in the world, and a famous Dota 2 cartoon was published in 2021. It should come as no surprise that Valve wants to keep expanding on Dota 2, particularly as IceFrog is still a Valve employee.
