Blizzard to continue adding to Heroes of the Storm

Blizzard are planning to continue adding content to Heroes of the Storm at a steady rate, with the studio promising even more game modes, heroes, and battlegrounds.

In an interview with PCGamer, game director Dustin Browder explained what's still to come to the MOBA, including new heroes.

"We're just going to keep adding heroes forever until we get sick of it and stop at this point. There's no secret number and there's no number that determines when we launch. I've had that asked many many times like "so, how many heroes do you need to launch?" and then they're doing the math and counting like "you do about about one a month...That's six months! Gotcha!" Unfortunately, I would launch today with the number of heroes we have. I'm good. The heroes are cool. We're ready to go."

Browder then offered this on the addition of new maps and modes: "We're good. We're ready to go. We're gonna keep adding more, definitely the rate of growth on maps is not gonna slow or stop until we say so. Until somebody tells us "dude, too many maps" or whatever. We're adding them as frequently as we can, and we're going to keep adding them as frequently as we can, even after launch."

He continued: "What you're seeing now is not a burst of speed prior to launch. This is the pace that we're hoping to continue developing at going forward. We're gonna add game modes, we're gonna add new heroes, we're gonna add new battlegrounds. Our goal for this game is to communicate with our audience to the best of our ability that you haven't seen anything yet. We don't want this game to become stale. We do not want this game to become repetitive. We want this game to constantly evolve."

It's an interesting interview and worth a read if you're looking forward to Heroes of the Storm. The closed beta started in January, and those who pay for the Founder's Pack are guaranteed access.
