Artifact Beta 

Artifact is a digital trading card game based on the characters and world of Valve’s popular MOBA, Dota 2, and is designed by the original creator of Magic: The Gathering, Richard Garfield. The game takes inspiration from the structure of Dota 2 in that it involves battles across three lanes, where players must compete to defeat enemy minions and champions in an effort to tear down their opponent’s towers. 

During The International, Dota 2’s annual esports tournament, Valve co-founder Gabe Newell announced that the Artifact beta will commence sometime in October 2018. No specific release date was given for the beta, but attendees from both The International and PAX West will receive beta access when the time comes.

Artifact is scheduled to release on November 28, 2018 for PC, Mac, and Linux. The mobile version of Artifact will release for iOS and Android in 2019. The game will cost $20 USD and comes with over 280 cards that can be sold or purchased on the Steam Community Marketplace.
