Blizzard Entertainment has announced that it will remove supervision 2from the Hero Mastery Gauntlet PvE mode due to lack of player participation.
The decision was shared in a recent forum post where the developer explained that it will be discontinuing the mode starting with Season 11 after finding that it “has not resonated with players.”
“As we prepare for Season 11, we've taken the time to evaluate a variety of game modes based on how much they're played,” the post reads. “Hero Mastery Gauntlet aimed to bring the thrill of chasing high scores of Hero Mastery missions to a multiplayer format.
“Unfortunately, it hasn't resonated with players the way we'd hoped. With this in mind, we've decided to discontinue Hero Mastery Gauntlet as a permanent mode, and it won't be available to play starting in Season 11.”
Blizzard adds that players have until the end of Season 10 to complete the Hero Mastery Gauntlet's lifetime challenges and compete on the mode's Top 500 leaderboards before it disappears forever.
However, individual solo hero mastery courses will still be available in single-player mode. Blizzard has also promised that more individual Hero Mastery courses will arrive in the coming seasons, but did not offer any further details.
Hero Mastery Gauntlet was released in March 2024 and is not the first PvE mode to be removed from the first-person shooter (FPS). Earlier this year, the developer announced that it had canceled the game's long-awaited Hero mode, which was originally intended for single player. Supervision experience.
The game's director, Aaron Keller, later apologized and said the project grew too big. “We were trying to do too many things at once and lost focus,” Keller said at the time. “We had an exciting but gigantic vision and were continually pulling resources away from the live game in an attempt to realize it.”
