Dota 2
Dota 2 is getting a large update tomorrow that adds things like LAN support, new treasures, and the Portal Pack.
LAN play will allow up to 9 Dota-ers to play with connected computers. Weapon management is receiving an update, and a new game-type called Captain's Draft will be added. Purchasing the Portal Pack adds GLaDOS as an announcer, Aperture Science Wardcores, and a Portal HUD skin.
The First Blood update will be available tomorrow, September 23. You can learn more about it here. Check out our Dota 2 review here.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
