Valve releases a teaser trailer today for their upcoming DOTA 2 game with the official debut and details on the game expected during Gamescom 2011 as part of the promotion and contest they are holding during the event.

Screens for the game was leaked around the same time and were confirmed to be actual gameplay screens but from an older build of the game. The sources involved with the leak revealed the current build screens have not been leaked and are with Valve for the upcoming expo in Germany.

Yes, these are screenshots of DOTA 2 but we do not know how old they are, and as we said already, the current UI will be way improved. So, take this for the general models, actual surfaces and atmosphere but we'd recommend to wait until GamesCom (yes, only 2 days now!) to actually make any decisions on the game!
The game is expected for a release later this year on both the PC and Mac.

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Konami announces the Metal Gear Solid HD collection will have its own collector's edition only available online at the price of $120. The CE edition is being titled as "Metal Gear Solid Ultimate HD Collection" and will only have 4000 copies made.

2) It turns out the celebration cake for Catherine on the PS3 was a bit of a lie as the reported 200,000 value shown on the cake wasn't confirmed by the NPD in the US. In reality the game only sold 78,000 copies in the first week while Atlus confirmed they only shipped 200,000 copies to retailers although it still broke best 1st week record in company history.

5) Microsoft preparing to drop the Xbox 360 from Japan and potenitally the Xbox brand itself after recent reports show the company is unhappy with the slow sales and recpeption of the brand. While the Xbox 360 outsold the original Xbox in Japan, Microsoft felt the money invested for Japan hasn't been worth the results in the long run.
