DotA Auto Chess spin-off, “Auto Chess,” is coming to the Epic Games store, Dragonest CEO Loring Lee announced on Monday during E3 2019.
“Auto Chess” will roll out in addition to a mobile version that’s also being developed by its original mod creators at game studio Drodo.
Based on the wildly popular DotA mode which featured a heavily modified version of chess, “Auto Chess” supports up to eight players and pits them against each other in one-on-one combat until the last one is left standing. Players draft Heroes from their pool of cards, and then form special combos according to their hero’s unique abilities.
This mode has made a splash on the PC market recently, with news that Riot Games will be developing an Auto Chess-style mode for “League of Legends” called Teamfight Tactics and Valve creating its very own stand-alone Auto Chess title.
E3 2019 is coming to Los Angeles on June 11 through 13, and we’ll cover all the highlights of the event here at Variety as well.
