Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Hasbro’ Wizards of the Coast division has pulled the plug on Heroscape. They will instead “focus our business efforts on our core brands” aka Magic and D&D.
The last expansion for Heroscape, Moltenclaw’s Invasion, is scheduled for release later this month.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
That is a shame, I know quite a few people who play and enjoy Heroscape.
Not unexpected. Hasbro tossed it to WotC in a last-ditch effort to keep it profitable, but it wasn’t. Even with some pretty substantial cost-cutting efforts. An unprofitable game line is an unprofitable game line.
The bright side to this, there were so many different expansions and mini-packs produced, plus the ease of creating custom figures, this game will be hitting that table for a long time to come.
