Rumors are swirling around, and it sounds like today may be a big day for Valve. Rumors of a possible announcement for the "Steam Frame", upcoming controller, and more could be seen very soon at some point throughout the day. However, these are all rumors, but to add some credence to it, there are some changes going on with Komodo that could indicate something big coming.

Spotted initially by Liam from GamingOnLinux, Komodo is changing its website name, going from steamdeck.komodo.co.jp to komodostation.com. The change is small, but could indicate some expansion on the storefront that would normally house the Steam Deck. The announcement originally just mentioned they are changing their name tomorrow, November 13th, and that old accounts will continue working on the new store. However, going to the site now gives us a maintenance message:

Komodo Maintenance Message
All the messages here say that they are doing updates and will be offline for a while, but in different languages.

While this could just mean Komodo is expanding and going to support other hardware, it's also very telling that this is replacing the Steam Deck store. Komodo is the official distributor for the Deck in Asian markets, so seeing changes like this is pretty telling. It adds credence to the rumors circulating about an announcement today, with popular tech creators like Moore's Law is Dead claiming that we should see some announcement from Valve today.

Time will tell for sure, but I am very excited to see what will happen for myself!
