Valve quietly releases Source 2 engine, Source 2 version of Dota 2, and new Hammer map editor
2014-08-08 15:01:34| Extremetech
In true Valve fashion, Gaben & Co. have just launched the long-awaited Source 2 engine... as part of the new Dota 2 Workshop Tools. Oddly, Valve isn't confirming that this is actually Source 2 -- but the Steam and Dota 2 communities are confident that this is it. You can also run an alpha version of Dota 2 in the new Source 2 engine, making it unofficially the first Source 2 game. Officially, we hope that Valve is still holding out for Half-Life 3 as the first real Source 2 game -- the math checks out: Source 1 + Source 2 = Half-Life 3. Read on for our early impressions of the Source 2 engine, and how to try it out yourself.
