The organiser of The Game Awards and longtime games journalist Geoff Keighley has published the first images from Valve's upcoming card game Artifact, set in the Dota 2 universe and he also wrote down some tidbits after having paid Valve's offices a visit. The card game is a collaboration between the Half-Life studio and Magic the Gathering creator Richard Garfield and it will be released exclusively for PC later this year.
"Here are some of the first images of Artifact - a collaboration with Magic creator Richard Garfield and set in DOTA universe. 280 cards, 44 heroes, "three lanes" of gameplay and some adorable imps."
"Yesterday I spent the afternoon up at Valve's stunning new office in Bellevue. "We're back to making and shipping games," Gabe Newell assured me as he started to share details of @PlayArtifact , the new digital card game coming later this year."
