Heroes of Valor devs were tired of waiting for a Battlefield Heroes successor, so they will create one themselves

by

Battlefield Heroes has been confirmed that it will not return, but Heroes of Valor claims to be the true follow-up to the DICE studio’s cartoon shooter.

To set the record straight, the Fancy Cat Interactive team (specifically Blazing Sails) never marketed their game as a spiritual successor to the Battlefield spin-off. Nonetheless, astute players have pointed out certain resemblances between the two games – from the vibrant, cartoonish visuals to the gameplay elements such as classes and third-person viewpoint.

In addition, according to an official statement made by Iceberg Interactive, the newly acquired gaming publisher reportedly characterizes HoV as being similar to “Battlefield Heroes” and playable via a PC (as reported by PC Gamer). However, the developer has only acknowledged inspiration from Battlefield 1942 and Brothers in Arms, stating that the team was frustrated with the lack of a game to replace Electronic Arts’s long-neglected title.

  1. Heroes of Valor on Steam

Despite some assurances from the creators, it’s confirmed that every character and design within “Heroes of Valor” were originally crafted, distinct from projects such as Phoenix Heroes or Risinghub. This game operates on a unique platform (Unreal Engine), with numerous components either already modified or planned for alteration or introduction (as indicated on Reddit and Steam). Consequently, the game can be found on Steam as an independent, complete title.

The game titled “Heroes of Valor” is moving towards early access (still without a fixed release date), and gamers now have the opportunity to participate in its tests on Steam. Beta testers can look forward to receiving incentives when the complete version of HoV is released. This game, developed by two independent developers who don’t have substantial financial resources, will not be free-to-play.
