Dota 2<\/em>, one of the world\u2019s most popular esports titles serving over 300,000 concurrent players on Steam as I write these words<\/a>, has just dropped a massive update called New Frontiers<\/a> that will likely change the free-to-play game forever. And the biggest difference by far is real estate<\/em>: the game\u2019s entire map is now 40 percent larger, letting you explore around the edges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe core objective of the game remains the same,\u201d assures Valve \u2014 \u201cyour lanes aren\u2019t further away from each other, and everything you need to win is still in the center of the map.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But Valve goes on to describe \u201cmeta-defining new features,\u201d new locations, new Tormentor mini-bosses, vision-granting neutral units called Watchers, Lotus Pools that generate fruit, new items, matchmaking changes, UI tweaks to the health bars, and a host of hero rebalances that will touch every character in the game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
