The Dota 2 New Frontiers Update has finally arrived, heralding perhaps the biggest overhaul the hit MOBA game's ever received. Featuring an expanded map, new and reworked POIs, a whole new hero attribute type and so much more, developer Valve has gone to town on what is being dubbed 'Dota 3' by some fans due to the scale of the changes.
Having just dropped with Dota 2 patch 7.33, the New Frontiers Update patch notes expand the game's iconic map by 40% - the extra breathing space has been added to the edges of the map, ensuring lanes are still as close to one-another as they were before.
Of course, with all this extra real estate comes new neutral elements, as well as chops and changes to some of Dota 2's existing objectives. For example, there are now twin portal gates - one at each corner of the map near the safe lane towers - that allow players to quickly switch between top and bot lane. We personally hope one is blue and the other orange for... reasons.
