Unreleased content

This page lists the known unreleased content for Dota 2. Only factual data, leaked or confirmed by Valve Corporation, is listed. As development of Dota 2 is mostly confidential, whether or not an item or feature will be released is speculative.

Status
These are heroes that are currently in a moderately advanced state of development by Valve and should be released "soon". Unreleased Heroes tend to have only extremely crude or comedic icons and avatars (often until they are announced for the next update), or just voice responses. Particles status is often difficult to evaluate.

Completeness is ranked by Alpha, Beta, Polished, and Finished. Heroes are ranked in order of their current state of development, judging from their media assets present in the game files, not in the expected order of release.
