Heroes of the Storm could make $10M a month, claims an analyst

If Blizzard wants to make a game a hit, it can make a hit.

While huge publishers like Electronic Arts are getting out of the business of competing against League of Legends and Dota 2, Blizzard is charging ahead with its own multiplayer online arena battler Heroes of the Storm. And the analysts at SuperData Research estimate the game will charge out of its official launch with revenues somewhere between $5 million and $10 million a month. That would easily make it one of the highest-grossing free-to-play PC games, and it demonstrates the star power that the name Blizzard carries.
