The MOBA genre faces challenges, with giants like Dota 2 and League of Legends struggling to maintain their dominance. Dota 2 is increasingly a niche title, primarily popular in Eastern Europe, while League of Legends appears to be losing momentum.
Against this backdrop, Garena's announcement of Heroes of Newerth's revival is intriguing. This once-significant MOBA competitor, shuttered in the early 2010s, is being rebuilt with a new engine, and initial trailers are encouraging.
However, several concerns remain. Firstly, relaunching a decade-old live-service game in a declining genre presents a significant hurdle. Player migration to newer platforms and gaming trends poses a considerable challenge.
Secondly, Garena's track record with game support and esports raises questions. Their claim of always believing in Heroes of Newerth's potential clashes with the game's initial closure.
Thirdly, the game's launch on the iGames platform, a partially crowdfunded initiative, is curious. The absence of a Steam release is notable, as broad appeal in today's market often necessitates Valve's platform.

While Heroes of Newerth's revival might foster organic growth, significant doubts persist. The projected one-year release timeline offers at least a concrete timeframe.
