Blizzard’s MOBA enters maintenance mode
Heroes Of The Storm, Blizzard’s take on the MOBA, is entering its dotage. In a shortnews post, Blizzard say they’re going to keep the game running, but “there are no plans for new for-purchase content” and future patches will focus on bug fixes.
“Moving forward we will support Heroes in a manner similar to our other longstanding games,StarCraftand StarCraft II,” says the post. “In the future, we’ll continue seasonal rolls and hero rotations, and while the in-game shop will remain operational there are no plans for new for-purchase content to be added. Future patches will primarily focus on client sustainability and bug fixing, with balance updates coming as needed.”

All players are being gifted a previously rare Epic Arcane Lizard mount in next week’s patch, as a thank you for supporting the game.
Heroes Of The Storm launched seven years ago, but in some senses the free-to-play game has been in managed decline since 2018 when Blizzardreduced its development team sizeand cancelled the Heroes esports events.
Blizzard typically do an admirable job of keeping their games running over the long-term, and the original StarCraft still receives patches and balance tweaks even now. Heroes Of The Storm will hopefully therefore remain playable for a long time to come.
