The show’s animation will be done by Studio MIR, who made The legend of Korra and Netflix Voltron: Legendary Defender.
Dota 2 it’s not the only big free-to-play MOBA having its own TV show. Riot Games is working on an animation series set in the League of Legends universe called Arcane. The show has been postponed from its original 2020 release and is now scheduled to come out later this year.
