Frostburn Studios Takes The Reins For Heroes Of Newerth

Garena's subsidiary, Frostburn Studios, has announced that they will be the new official game developer for Heroes of Newerth. S2 Games, the original developer sold the game to Garena for an unspecified sum, likely to focus their efforts on their newest MOBA, Strife. The current plan of action is for the current HoN development team to be integrated into Frostburn Studios, who will then be in charge-- With Garena providing strategic advice to the team.  The focus of the new development team is to establish deeper community engagements and deliver quality in-game experiences.

Brad Bower, Studio Director of Frostburn Studios and long time HoN veteran states:

“We’re delighted that Heroes of Newerth has found a new home with us at Frostburn Studios. Garena has a great track record of helping established game titles achieve their fullest potential, while still retaining the core values and spirit that made them unique. Garena’s traditional strength has also been in helping games scale up their success, and we’re confident that with their support, Frostburn Studios can take HoN’s popularity to a whole new level."

Heroes of Newerth was one of the first MOBAs to launch on the market, being an original competitor with League of Legends.  The game has been updating consistently, with their last champion release being Parallax the Artificer.  You can check out the official website for Herooes of Newerth here.
