The new update is very close to being ready. There will be new heroes, items and lots of balance improvements.
6.68 Preview #1 – Aggression
I’ve confirmed that there were new heroes coming in 6.68, but there are also some new features coming. Here is a preview of a new gold mechanic that introduces the concept of Reliable vs Unreliable Gold. ” Reliable Gold ” – Any bounty you get from hero kills or from the extra “aoe kill gold” bonus (feature from few patches ago) is added to your Reliable Gold pool

Status Update
I am still working hard on 6.68. We plan to release a preview video in the near future to showcase some of the new content. There are quite a few new heroes in development so we are taking extra time to make sure they are high quality.

Q: When will we hear more about you and Valve? Some people say it will take 2-3 years, can you give us any clues? (from Zeyall) A: It certainly won’t take that long.
