Greetings Heroes,
We recently mentioned in a Director’s Take that we’ve been taking time to improve the game modes you all jump into and enjoy every day. As we focus more time and effort into delivering the best experience for Quick Play, Competitive, Stadium, and other new ways to play, we’re going to be shifting focus away from past game modes that haven’t seen as much attention. With this in mind, we’ve made the decision to sunset Hero Mastery courses starting in Season 19 later this year.
Players have until the end of Season 18 to complete the Lifetime Challenges for Hero Mastery and compete on every course’s Top 500 leaderboards. After the end of Season 18, all Hero Mastery Courses that have been released will be no longer be available. This also means we will not be releasing any further courses for any additional Heroes. If you need a great reason to jump in the courses one more time, we are going to be granting an Epic Loot Box and exclusive Player Title for anyone who completes or has already completed Mastery I and Mastery III Lifetime challenges, which will be available to earn when Season 18 launches.
It’s been really amazing to see how many of you jumped into the courses over the last couple of years to put on some amazing displays of skill with some of your favorite Heroes. Expect more ways to keep that dedication going in Season 18 and beyond. Thanks, and we’ll see you in-game!
