For Heroes of the Storm, a new map will be released soon, but it only has one path and hardly any map objectives. We have the details.
The Lost Cavern – simple, but fun?
With the next major patch, there will be a new map in the Nexus of “Heroes of the Storm”. However, the new map will not be available in the regular rotation, but only in custom matches.
The “Lost Cavern” differs significantly from the previous battlegrounds, as there is only a single path. As if that weren’t strange enough, there are also no bosses or other map objectives to fulfill, only some power-ups in the form of regeneration orbs scattered along the way. Heroes must also forgo the hearthstone, as they cannot heal at the fountain. Thus, every hit point gains more significance and the match consists of relentless back and forth, an eternal group fight that will likely only end late.
The developers designed this map because players had already created such matches themselves and had previously generated these conflicts “artificially”. Even though it might not be referred to that way, the developers are aware that almost every other MOBA has a similar mode, which is usually called “Aram” (“All random, all mid”). Apart from the random heroes, that is exactly what has now been delivered.
