Open Beta | Prepare to Enter the World of Heroes of Newerth: Reborn This November

Featuring a new engine, visuals and user experience overhaul

Kalamazoo, Michigan - October 22, 2025 — Kongor Studios is pleased to announce that the open beta for its upcoming MOBA revival Heroes of Newerth: Reborn is launching on November 11th, 2025. Heroes of Newerth Reborn is a passion project at its core, brought to life by a mix of developers who worked on the original game, passionate community members and game industry veterans. The game is a continuation of the Heroes of Newerth legacy that blends nostalgia for seasoned players with significant updates for new audiences, all while maintaining the core essence of the Heroes of Newerth. Players can access the beta starting on November 11th by visiting the game’s official website at heroesofnewerth.com.



“The journey over the last 15 years of Heroes of Newerth has been an incredible ride”, said Nick "BreakyCPK" Caras, Director of Communications at Kongor. “I still remember trying it for the first time back in 2009 and immediately being hooked, just like so many others. When I was approached a little over a year ago about joining this project, I couldn’t pass up the chance to help renew a game that’s had such a lasting impact on my life. Knowing how much work lay ahead, a team of passionate and talented people, each with their own deep connection to HoN, has poured their time and effort into bringing us to this moment: Open Beta. And the best part is, this is only the beginning for Heroes of Newerth: Reborn. I can’t wait for everyone to experience what’s next in this exciting new chapter.”

“It feels like déjà vu, having worked on Heroes of Newerth over 15 years ago, and now, in 2025, bringing this passion project back to the gaming world. Next month, HoN will open its beta to everyone. Our team has poured their hearts into reviving this classic MOBA and bringing it up to today's standards. I’m excited for longtime fans to relive their favorite moments, and for a new generation of players to create their own”, said Marc “Maliken” DeForest.

Heroes of Newerth: Reborn is the revival of the original Heroes of Newerth (HoN), a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena game. Developed by Kongor Studios, the game offers improved graphics, performance, and a better multiplayer experience compared to its predecessor. New mechanics are introduced in this new version of HoN, including Ravens to assist with sight, Kongor to push a lane, and more. Those hoping to hop into the beta action early can do so by supporting the project with a $1 tier or even more to receive more perks through the Genesis program.
