Heroes of the Storm gets its first patch in a year and a half after days Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard.
Earlier this month, Microsoft finally announced that its purchase of Activision-Blizzard was official. That means that Microsoft now owns massive gaming properties like Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Diablo. However, Microsoft brass has already said it's open to revisiting old Activision franchises. Interestingly, one of those"old" franchises actually got its first update in more than a year and a half this week.
Is Heroes of the Storm Coming Back?With a new patch going up on the Public Test Realm, many fans are hoping this means HOTS is making a grand comeback. Of course, having Blizzard drop the patch right after Microsoft's purchase and a week before BlizzCon 2023 only adds to that hype. However, it's more likely that this is just a quick update that doesn't signify a return to full development for the Heroes of the Storm team.
That's largely backed up by what's coming in this new patch. For the most part, this update is simply changing some of the Icons to make them more visible and introduced several needed bug fixes to iron out issues that have been cropping up. That said, Blizzard also introduced some new changes to the Observer UI, which is something that can be used to spectate matches.
