The sad reality with developers looking for a slice of the MOBA pie is that if their game isn’t Dota 2, League of Legends, Heroes of the Storm, Smite, or even Heroes of Newerth, it’s pretty much destined to fail. That’s the dilemma Deep Silver are now facing. They’ve just announced that their take on the genre, Dead Island: Epidemic, will be closing down in October.

Third-person MOBA, Smite, is now available on Steam. It is completely free to play, though the ultimate god pack can be purchased at a discounted rate for a limited time!

Bandai Namco's MOBA, Supernova, is entering its closed beta phase. It will kick off next week, accompanied by new commanders and various other goodies.

Patch 5.8 is due for League of Legends. It comes with balances, a significant change to the champion Ryse, and even Facebook integration for finding more friends to play LoL with.

Details on patch 6.84 for Dota 2 have finally been revealed! It's a big one update; bringing balances, changes, and even new items to Valve's MOBA.

Valve have announced three new major championships to supplement their annual Dota 2 spectacle, The International. They've also announced a new balance change, which will be out next week sometime.

The MOBA genre is getting rather flooded. The latest to hop onto the train are Square Enix. They are working on a game called Lord of Vermillion Arena.
