On ResetEra, one ex-Valve employee commented on the Neon Prime trademark news, questioning whether it was Valve’s “FTL-like shipbuilding game.” That is unquestionably sci-fi and would allow for travel to many Dota 2 places, but it does not necessarily connect in well with the Dota brand. But it’s definitely fascinating, if only because it’s something fans wouldn’t anticipate.
Valve supporters are well aware that expecting anything from the corporation until it has been formally revealed is unwise (and even then, it is good to remain suspicious). While it makes sense to release additional Dota-related games, Valve will only do so when the stars align. After all, it has been sitting on the Half-Life franchise for well over a decade. And, as Artifact demonstrates, not all Valve games are guaranteed to be what fans desire. Let’s hope Valve doesn’t take too long to reveal the truth regarding Neon Prime.
