Heroes of Newerth: A Potential Resurrection?
Rumors of a Heroes of Newerth (HoN) revival are swirling among fans following a recent surge of activity on the game's dormant social media accounts. After a three-year silence punctuated only by a 2021 shutdown announcement, the developer, Garena, has reignited the HoN Twitter account with cryptic posts, fueling speculation of a potential comeback.
The initial post, a simple "Happy NEW Year" (with "NEW" capitalized), was followed by an image of a cracking egg, further intensifying the anticipation. These actions, coupled with subtle updates to the HoN website (now featuring a silhouetted logo and animated particles), have sent ripples of excitement through the community.
HoN, a popular MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) from the late 2000s and early 2010s, competed alongside giants like League of Legends and Dota 2. While it ultimately couldn't maintain its position in the market and shut down in 2022, the renewed online presence suggests a possible change of fortune.
The developer's cryptic messages have sparked a flurry of fan theories. Some speculate about HoN heroes being integrated into Dota 2, while others anticipate a mobile version. Regardless of the specifics, the renewed interest highlights the enduring legacy of HoN and the fervent hope for its return.
The recent social media activity is far from confirmation, but it has undeniably rekindled the passion of HoN's dedicated player base. The possibility of HoN re-entering the competitive MOBA landscape, and how it would fare against established titles, is a compelling question that only time will answer.
