Following the reveal of Techies at The International 4, Dota 2 is one step closer to catching up to the original DotA’s character count — and once it does, Valve will introduce new characters。

　　TI4国际邀请赛上相关工作人员透露，DOTA2只差一步就能搬运完所有的DOTA1英雄，一旦完成，V社将会推出全新英雄！

　　Confirming obvious suspicions, Valve’s Erik Johnson told IGN that, yes, Valve plans to create new Heroesfor Dota 2. When asked about adding new Valve-created characters once Dota 2 catches up to theoriginal DotA's huge character roster, Valve’s Erik Johnson said, “Yes. We just keep going. Dota never stops."

　　为了确认这些猜测，IGN采访了V社的Erik Johnson，他说是的，V社确实有为DOTA2创造新英雄的打算。当问及是否会在DOTA1的众多英雄全部搬运到DOTA2之后，再增加新的V社系英雄时，Erik Johnson回答说，“对，我们会继续的，DOTA永无止境。”

　　Characters currently not part of the ever-updating Dota 2 include Pit Lord, Arc Warden, Winter Wyvern, Oracle,and Techies. Eventually,"There’ll be new heroes, there’ll be new changes to the game," Johnson said. Moving onto Dota 3,he explained, doesn't "really make sense.... There’s no point where we say, ‘Alright, we’re done. Let’s move on to the next one.’”

　　迄今为止，还未进入DOTA2大家庭的英雄包括，深渊领主、弧光守望者、寒冬飞龙、神谕者和哥布林工程师。该来的还是要来的，“一定会有新的英雄，也会有新的游戏改动，”Johnson这样说到。至于DOTA2，他解释说，现在谈论这些并无意义，或许有一天我们会说“好的，我们完成了，我们可以前往下一个目标了。”

　　Techies will presumably come with the next major Dota 2 update。

　　V社和冰蛙正在筹备DOTA2的下一次主要更新(很可能是6.82版本)。
