Heroes of Newerth (HoN) was a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game originally developed by S2 Games for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.[1] The game idea was derived from the Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne custom map Defense of the Ancients and was S2 Games' first MOBA title.[2] The game was released on May 12, 2010, and re-released as a free-to-play game on July 29, 2011.[3] On May 5, 2015, Heroes of Newerth development duties passed to Frostburn Studios, with the development team moving over to the new company.[4] The service ceased operations on June 20, 2022.[5][6]
In January 2025, Kongor Games announced a remake of the game titled Heroes of Newerth: Reborn, featuring a new engine, visuals and user experience overhaul.[7]
