Valve had flownDrododown to its headquarters earlier in February for the discussion, andDrodohas since created anon-Dota mobile version of the game, with Valve helping DAC mod players migrate their account progress over to their new game.

“We had great conversations, but we both came to the conclusion that Valve andDrodocould not work directly with each other for a variety of reasons. We ended up agreeing that we’ll each build our own stand-alone version of the game, and support each other to the fullest,” said Valve in a blog post.

It’s also highly likely that the new game could be called Dota Underlords, which Valverecently trademarked on May 6 prior to this announcement.
