Tyler McVicker, a prolific leaker, has provided information about Valve’s upcoming Dota project. Valve is now working on a new Dota-related project called Neon Prime, according to McVicker. The game has Dota 2’s IceFrog, although it’s unclear if it’s a MOBA. What is certain is that it is not “unlikely” to be an FPS. It’s also a science-fiction endeavor that’s supposed to include going to multiple realms, such as Ultoria or The Continuum’s home.
While McVicker has historically shown to be an untrustworthy rumormonger, sometimes releasing accurate information and sometimes sharing information that is either erroneous or has yet to be validated, there is some corroboration to what he has previously published. Valve has formally trademarked the term Neon Prime, and it is registered as being linked to video games. That hardly verifies the creation of a game, but it lends weight to McVicker’s subsequent claims.
