First released in 2016 and still growing and being refined after nearly a decade, the game's total revenue exceeds $750 million across all PC platforms (browser and social media), boosted further by a wave of high-profile collaboration events, featuring iconic guest characters such as Lara Croft and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

2025 has been a landmark year for Hero Wars: Dominion Era, bringing significant developments in both gameplay and technology. In the spring, the game hosted its first in-game rock festival featuring the new hero Lyria — a warmly received event format that’s already set to return. Two new heroes joined the fight: the mysterious Folio and Gus are already in the game! The team introduced Power Tournaments for both heroes and titans — giving players a fresh way to compete and earn rewards.
On the technical side, game loading time was reduced by threefold, making entry into Dominion faster and smoother. A new League Arena is currently in testing, aiming to take PvP competition to the next level. The game also launched a promo code system, providing new tools for community engagement and partnerships.
Finally, the team is developing a deep new Totem mechanic to expand tactical possibilities and diversify team builds. These efforts are just part of our broader commitment to keep Hero Wars: Dominion Era growing, evolving, and delivering new experiences to players worldwide.
