Blizzard is celebrating the recent seventh anniversary of its MOBA Heroes of the Storm by trimming development in order to focus only “on client sustainability and bug fixing”.
In a brief update posted yesterday on the official website, Blizzard said it would now treat the MOBA in a “manner similar to our other longstanding games, StarCraft and StarCraft II” by continuing seasonal rolls and hero rotations, but with no plans for new “for-purchase content to be added”.
As a thank you to all who’ve stuck with the game, Blizzard is offering the “incredibly rare” Epic Arcane Lizard mount to all players with next week’s patch.
“This June marks the seven-year anniversary of Heroes of the Storm,” the update says (thanks, Comic Book). “Combining legendary characters from all of our universes, it naturally brought players together into a truly unique experience. Heroes and its community are home to some of the most passionate gamers from around the world and we’re committed to making sure that you can continue to enjoy your adventures through the Nexus.
