Realm of the Titans: Closed Beta Date Announced
Aeria Games revealed that its hotly anticipated action strategy title Realm of the Titans will begin Closed Beta testing on July 27, 2011. Realm of the Titans (RotT) delivers thrilling PvP gameplay inspired by a popular Warcraft 3 custom mod called Defense of the Ancients (DotA). Die-hard DotA fans helped grow the niche sub-genre into a specialized cache of titles, referred to as Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games. ROTT blends the competitive essence of DotA / MOBA games with a few inspired twists designed to keep novices and veterans alike on their toes.
Realm of the Titans’ features:
- Created by DotA Pros – Designed by dedicated DotA fans, RotT brings back such popular DotA tactics as “deny” yet sizzles with new features, including flying mounts and epic Titan skills.
- Intense PvP Action – RotT’s matchmaking is meticulously formulated to create balanced, edge-of-your-seat 5v5 matches. An added bonus, the bot system ensures teams are never down a player if someone quits.
- Epic Heroes & Skills – Choose from an all-new roster of ferocious heroes. Every hero is equipped with 3 basic skills and an Ultimate. Once in-game, further boost your hero with a selection of Titan skills. Titan skills automatically level up every 10 minutes and can be switched during the game to keep the action coming.
- Loaded with Content – Take advantage of a ton of game features, including two map options, the AMP system, Titan skills, and a helpful ‘Recommended Items’ shop feature.

Not going to lie, I kind of forgot about how much of a grind weapon upgrades can be!

The game can be wishlisted on Steam now.

If you’re not interested in love, the update also introduces some changes to Battle Hall PvP.
Anyway I have to say that I am really suspicious about this game. Mainly because I don't think it'll be as good as League of Legends (which I play since it came out of closed beta) or Heros of Newerth. But I'll definitely check it out either way.
Kind of afraid it'll be like Avalon heroes though *shudders*.
League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth.... LOCO (except it's third-person) and I'm sure there are many more.
Do we really need another DotA clone?
