Valve's first new video game in over five years finally has a release date. Artifact, a Dota-themed digital card game in the same vein as Magic: The Gathering or Hearthstone, is slated to release on Steam for every major PC platform--yes, even Linux and Macs--on November 28 for $20, with a mobile version scheduled to launch in 2019. Artifact is Valve's first full release since 2013's Dota 2, and its first premium game since 2012's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It fits right into Valve's modern focus on games that can be played over years, rather than shorter single-player experiences like Portal or Half-Life. The game was even announced during last year's massive annual Dota 2 tournament, The International.

Will it be Google's own Pixel watch to join the Pixel 3 phone and Google's growing line of self-made products like Google Home, Daydream View, Google Clips and the Pixelbook? Or, will it be made by others, like Google tends to do with some products?
