The famous MOBA game has a new move in early 2025
Perhaps gamers, especially followers of the MOBA game series, are no longer unfamiliar with the name Heroes of Newerth – a once-popular MOBA game by NPH S2 Games. It can be said that, besides some other famous names, HoN is also considered to inspire later League of Legends or DOTA 2. However, as the “juniors” grew more and more, HoN gradually faded away.
But recently, in the first days of the new year 2025, HoN's official social networking sites posted a picture of an Easter egg cracking, signaling it was about to hatch. In addition, when examining the game's fanpage, the community also discovered that this page has shown signs of being active again with the first post being January 1, 2025. These are also the latest posts since December 2021 – the time the game announced the end of all new update activities for HoN.
The return of the once famous MOBA game?
For many gamers, HoN still has a certain position in the world of MOBA games. However, the graphics are too old, not aesthetic… are the reasons why HoN is less popular. Not to mention, games like DOTA 2 and League of Legends are growing strongly and also occupy HoN's market share.
With this new move, it can be understood that HoN is preparing to return. But what's important is the innovations that the game can bring to players. And about this, perhaps only when the game is officially re-released (if ever), the gaming community can experience it firsthand and have the most accurate assessments.
