Select Heroes of the Storm mounts retiring, Blackheart’s Doubloon mount coming soon

A blue post earlier today confirmed that some Heroes of the Storm mounts will be heading out to pasture soon. The Money Pig will be taking a well earned vacation on September 1, and the Magic Carpet and Lunar Tiger mounts will be leaving on September 8. This is in addition to the Nazeebra’s removal, mentioned in today’s patch notes — the Nazeebra will be heading off to graze greener pastures on August 25.

However, all these mount removals are making way for some different mounts for players. Blackheart’s Doubloon will be making its official debut on September 1. You’ll be able to purchase the mount for 20,000 Gold, just like the Money Pig. In addition, since the Magic Carpet and Lunar Tiger are taking a vacation, the Cyber and Dire Wolf mounts will be returning on September 8.

The dutiful Money Pig Mount has been carrying heroes into battle across all of our battlegrounds for quite some time now, and it’s high-time to give its little hooves some well-deserved rest. If you haven’t had the chance to buy a Money Pig of your very own, then you may wish to do so within the next few weeks, because it will be leaving the Heroes of the Storm Shop on Tuesday, September 1.

Blackheart’s Doubloon Arr-iving Soon!

We finally agreed to sit down with Blackheart and talk through a Mount design he’s been shouting about in all of our recent meetings (Why do we keep inviting him to these?) We thought his idea was actually pretty cool, and we’re excited to bring you Blackheart’s Doubloon, starting on September 1!

Like the Money Pig, Blackheart’s Doubloon will cost 20,000 Gold (he’s got a thing for coins, you know) and cannot be purchased using real money. What’s more, you can rest assured that all proceeds from sales of Blackheart’s Doubloon will go toward restocking his ship with cannonballs.

Wolves Are SO In Right Now

We’re also planning to temporarily remove the Magic Carpet and Lunar Tiger Mounts from the Heroes Shop on Tuesday, September 8. In their places, we’ll once again swap in the Cyber and Dire Wolf Mounts, which will become available for purchase on that same day. If you’ve been howling for these Mounts to make a comeback, then these wolves may be the perfect fit for your collection.

Nazeebra Riding Off Into the Sunset

Finally, as mentioned in today’s patch notes, Nazeebo’s trusty Nazeebra Mount will be leaving alongside the Nexus Bundle on Tuesday, August 25. Until that time, you’ll still be able to add the black and white striped steed to your collection by purchasing the Nexus Bundle, which has become Dynamic with today’s update. You’ll receive a discount for each item you already own that’s part of the Nexus Bundle, meaning that you can pick up the Nazeebra Mount without paying full price on the Bundle. You can learn more about Dynamic Bundles in our recent article.

As always, if you already own the Money Pig, Magic Carpet, Nazeebra, or Lunar Tiger Mounts, don’t worry — You’ll still be able to ride them into glorious combat just as you always have!
