With a player count reaching almost 5.5 million, Dota Auto Chess is one of the hottest games this year. Now its developer is hinting that fans might soon be able to play it on mobile.
The creators behind Dota Auto Chess, Drodo Studio, recently published a poster on Weibo. It contains an image of the company’s mascot bird dangling a smartphone with its beak. The caption says, “Coming Soon”.
For the new and uninitiated, Dota Auto Chess was created by four Chinese Dota enthusiasts. It's an online multiplayer game which you play inside Dota 2. You and seven other players draft from a limited pool of heroes to form your own armies. You then take turns to battle all the other players until there’s a last man standing.
Chinese fans are excited about the possibility of playing Dota Auto Chess on their smartphones.
A top comment in a gaming forum wrote, “If this game gets on mobile, it’s gonna be a huge title.”
