Unreleased content

This is a list of unreleased content. Only official content, confirmed in the client or leaked by Valve, is listed. As development of Dota 2 is mostly confidential, whether or not an item or feature will be released is highly speculative.

Heroes
Unreleased heroes tend to have only elementary or placeholder materials.
 * Alpha: Very basic materials, often placeholders or comedy icons.
 * Beta: Some materials, rough or unfinished artwork.
 * Polished: Finished materials, ready for release.

Abilities
Release status for entires are largely speculative. They are roughly categorized as follows:
 * Pending - Item is being prepared for future release, usually in a Treasure, a League Bundle, or through an Event.
 * Delayed - Item is being held for technical or other issues, but will probably still be released in the future.
 * Shelved - Item has been set aside indefinitely, and may or may not ever be released. Models and/or entries usually remain in client.
 * Scrapped - Item has been abandoned due to thematic, copyright, commercial or other issues. Not likely to ever be released. Models and/or entries usually removed from client.
 * Unknown - No reliable information.

Achievements
Achievements were originally planned for Steam, but were never implemented. This feature may have been replaced by the Gallery of Triumphs.

Cosmetic Items
The following is a list of cosmetic items that have appeared in the client, but were either removed or remain unreleased. During the early days of the cosmetic items system, many scrapped Workshop submissions made brief appearances in the client, likely because a formal vetting system had not yet been established. Most of those items are not listed here unless it received significant attention from Valve.

Click on column headers to sort by status, name, hero, or last update. Some previews show different working versions of the item. Workshop submissions and mods should not be added to this list.

Taunts
Some entries in this list may be duplicates with different names.

Animations
These animations exist in the game files, but are not used. Most are likely potential custom animations for equipment items, although some may be Taunts.
