HoN’s return to esports promises to be an intriguing spectacle, especially considering the evolution of the competitive landscape since its peak in 2017 and 2018. While the game achieved a viewership high of 15,256 during the HoN Tour World Finals in 2017, it never quite attained the same level of widespread esports recognition as League of Legends or Dota 2.
Heroes of Newerth Reborn represents a comprehensive revitalization project, breathing new life into the original game. Kongor Studios, comprised of original S2 Games developers, Frostburn Studios veterans, and community contributors, aims to restore HoN to its former glory.
The project, fueled by crowdfunding, is poised to enter its Beta phase on November 11th, following its initial alpha release in May. Originally launched by S2 Games in 2010 and later managed by Frostburn Studios in 2015, Heroes of Newerth faced a decline in player base and cultural relevance as League of Legends and Dota 2 gained prominence.
Despite the official shutdown in 2022, the community kept the game alive through community servers and modest esports tournaments. Now, with Kongor Studios at the helm, Heroes of Newerth is ready to reclaim its place in the competitive gaming world.
