Dragonest, the publisher of the previously popular Auto Chess game, comes with its own moba game. That game will have the necessary similarities with Dota 2 and League of Legends. Among other things, the characters from Auto Chess will be found in the new moba game.
The publisher previously published one video announcing the development of the new moba game. This game will be called Auto Chess Moba. All heroes will be available for free and none will be paid runes present. In addition to transferring the heroes, the day and night system and the destructible objects from Auto Chess will also return in Auto Chess Moba. The title has only been presented as a mobile game so far. Whether there will also be a PC version and when Auto Chess Moba is ready is unknown.
Auto Chess was at the basis of it auto battlergenre, a sub-genre of strategy games in which characters compete against each other on a chessboard without the intervention of the player. Auto Chess is one mod of the popular moba game Dota 2 which appeared in the Steam Workshop in 2019. The mod quickly became very popular, after which Dragonest made an official version called Auto Chess together with Drodo.
Other game companies jumped on the popularity of this genre. That’s how Valve came up with Dota Underlords and Riot, creator of the popular moba game League of Legends, released Teamfight Tactics. Blizzard also contributed with the arrival of Hearthstone: Battlegrounds, which is essentially a separate mode within the Hearthstone card game.
