There is a new map is on the way, and this one is a bit different.

Lost Cavern features a streamlined play area, much like the Arena maps that were shown at Blizzcon, but taken a step farther. Objectives and Hearthstones have been removed and the focus of this map is a single lane battle with nothing else to distract you from fighting the enemy team and destroying their core. Be prepared for intense action, as this map is essentially one never ending team fight. There is no going back to the starting area to get health or mana, although there will be regen globes at certain locations on the map.

This map will only be available thru the Custom Game tab and will not be a part of the regular map rotation. This map should be perfect for ARAMs or other community organized events. The intention is for this to be an entertaining map, and to give the community a little more creative freedom when it comes to how they play the game.

Lost Cavern is slated to release during the next major patch, which means it will most likely drop in the next few weeks when Dehaka is released. If you would like to read the official blog from Blizzard, including instructions for how to create custom games, simply click here.
