Dota 2 News

Some good news has arrived, Dota 2 fans, to get your week off to a great start. Dota: Dragon's Blood - the Netflix anime series based on the universe of Valve's hugely popular MOBA game - is getting a second season.

The developer has just posted the news on the multiplayer game's official Twitter channel, announcing: "Book 2 is coming! The second season of DOTA: Dragon's Blood is in the works." As per the tweet, which you can see below, the show's second season will be called Book II - but that's all we know about it right now. Sadly, there aren't any details about what Season 2 might bring on either the Dota 2 site or Netflix just yet, but at least fans can rest assured there's more on the way.

The first season, which launched on Netflix just a few weeks ago on March 25, explores the adventures of the "conflicted yet courageous Dragon Knight" Davion who has to draw on the power of the "dragon within to stop a deadly demon".

Fresh from the release of Dota: Dragon's Blood, Netflix is going to host a Dota 2 documentary. Dota 2 Free To Play, a film on the esports scene surrounding the multiplayer game, will be viewable on the streaming platform from this next week.

The movie was produced by Valve during The International 2011, the first tournament surrounding the MOBA game worth one million US dollars. It follows three pros, Danil 'Dendi' Ishutin, Benedict Lim 'hyhy' Han Yong, and Clinton 'Fear' Loomis, on their journey to the competition, chronicling their highs and lows. Like most sports movies, it's less about the sport, and more about the personal drama.

You can already watch it on Valve's YouTube channel, where it came out in 2014, but now a whole other audience, one whose first exposure to the fantasy game is Dragon's Blood, can get a look at it. The doc serves as a great time capsule of what was then a nascent community, and a decade on, it's bound to be intriguing to some of Netflix's documentary-hungry viewers. Dota 2 has a rich history already, and it's cool to see elements of that legacy being pushed to potential new fans.
