Duke Nukem voice actor recorded for Valve's 'Defense of the Ancients'

We heard a while ago that
Defense of the Ancients creator Icefrog had
been hired by Valve to work on something that
would make DotA fans excited, and now voiceover artist Jon St. John – better known as
the voice of Duke Nukem – has tweeted that he visited Valve in Seattle to do
some "recording for DotA." Interesting. There have been a few
DotA-style games released already, including the popular
League of Legends and
Heroes of Newerth, but if Valve's collaboration with Icefrog is actually called
Defense of the Ancients, it could be even closer to the classic game than any of the full-scale competitors.
Of course, the original
DotA was a
WarCraft 3 mod based on an original
StarCraft map, but with Valve on board, this would presumably be a standalone title with plenty of Icefrog insight. We've contacted Valve to see what's up and just how close that announcement might be, and we'll let you know if and when we hear back.
