Blizzard will no longer develop new content for Heroes of the Storm. The game will continue to receive bug fixes.
The company made the announcement in a blog post. However, the game must continue to be supported with bug fixes. Also, heroes and seasons continue to alternate. The in-game store will also remain active, although no new content will be added.
To thank players who have stuck with them all these years, everyone will receive a mount in the form of the Epic Arcane Lizard next week.
The moba Heroes of the Storm came out in 2015. Former Blizzard director Mike Morhaime already said in 2019 that the company was struggling to make the game really popular, because the game would have been released too late to profit from the popularity of the moba. In 2018, the team behind the game was reduced in size and official tournaments were canceled a year later.
