Mobile Dota 2-like Heroes of Order & Chaos gets built-in Twitch broadcasting

Multiplayer online arena battlers like League of Legends and Dota 2 are some of the most popular games in the world, and livestreaming on Twitch is a big contributor to that popularity. Now, a mobile MOBA is aiming to build up its audience by including built-in streaming with the help of Amazon’s latest acquisition.

Developer Gameloft and Twitch are working together to implement Twitch broadcasting for Heroes of Order & Chaos on iOS in an update due to his the App Store tomorrow. That free-to-play MOBA brings the team-based strategic action of the genre to smartphones and tablets, and it has already surpassed more than 11 million downloads. With livestreaming, the game could find a new audience through Twitch’s user-generated content. This is the second game on mobile, after Gameloft’s Asphalt 8: Airborne racer, to get built-in Twitch streaming on mobile devices. Earlier this week, Amazon announced that it is acquiring Twitch for $970 million, and its mobile features likely played into its final sale price.
