MOBA Game Heroes of Newerth Revived?

Summary

  • Following its 2022 shutdown, the developer of Heroes of Newerth hinted at a potential return via social media.
  • Recent Twitter activity from the developer sparked fan speculation about a Heroes of Newerth revival.
  • Significant player interest in a possible Heroes of Newerth comeback persists.

The classic MOBA, Heroes of Newerth, unexpectedly closed its servers in 2022, but a potential resurgence is brewing. While unconfirmed, the developer's renewed activity on Heroes of Newerth's social media channels—dormant for over three years—suggests a possible announcement is in the works. This follows the trend of numerous Dota clones emerging after the success of the Warcraft 3 mod, Dota. Games like League of Legends, Dota 2, Heroes of the Storm, and Heroes of Newerth dominated the MOBA landscape in the late 2000s and early 2010s. However, Heroes of Newerth ultimately couldn't maintain its competitive edge.

My MOBA playstyle typically involves a top/off-lane bruiser role; think Aatrox or Mordekaiser in League of Legends, or Axe, Sven, or Tidehunter in Dota 2. If that role is unavailable, I'm flexible, though I prefer ranged carries over mid or support.

The first indication of a possible Heroes of Newerth return came via a recent social media post. The official Twitter account's last post, a farewell message from developer Garena announcing the game's closure, dates back to December 2021. After a three-year hiatus, a "Happy NEW Year" message (with "NEW" capitalized) appeared on January 1st. Further fueling speculation, the Heroes of Newerth website now displays a silhouetted game logo with animated particles.

Heroes of Newerth's Social Media Activity Hints at a Comeback

This wasn't a singular event; it quickly ignited player interest. Nostalgia flooded in, with many expressing hope (and apprehension) regarding a potential return. Comments like, "Don't give me hope," highlighted the excitement. Adding fuel to the fire, a subsequent January 6th post featured a large cracking egg, further intensifying speculation. Theories range from HoN hero integration into Dota 2 to the development of a mobile version.

The renewed social media activity surrounding Heroes of Newerth undeniably demonstrates continued player interest. The developer's intentions remain unclear, but a successful return would be fascinating, particularly in comparing Heroes of Newerth's performance against current top MOBAs.
