Unreleased content

This page lists the known unreleased content for Dota 2. Only factual data, leaked or confirmed by Valve Corporation, is listed. Development of Dota 2 is for most of its part confidential and it's difficult to determine if this content will be released on the main client or it will be scrapped.

Unreleased Hero status
These are heroes that are currently in a moderately advanced state of development by Valve and should be released "soon". Unreleased Heroes can have only extremely crude or comedic icons and avatars, or just voice responses. Particles status is often difficult to evaluate.

Ranking is: alpha, beta, polished, finished. Only heroes which has files or descriptions in the public Dota 2 game client are listed on the table. The heroes are ranked in order of the current state of development judging from the elements present in the Dota 2 beta files, not in the expected order of release.
