Heroes of the Storm Articles
Overwatch's D.Va will be making her way to the Heroes of the Storm Nexus. Blizzard made the announcement during a live stream event earlier today in celebration of the game's Heroes 2.0 update that brings a number of big changes into the game including loot boxes, sprays and much more (similar to those earned in Overwatch).
The Latin American Heroes of the Storm YouTube channel has been updated with a new video that shines the spotlight on Overwatch's Genji, the next hero heading into the Nexus. Genji arrives as part of Heroes 2.0, a huge update to the game that we affectionately call the "Overwatchification" of HotS.
The Heroes of the Storm team is preparing to unleash the "2.0" version of the game and what better way to celebrate such a momentous event than by giving away free stuff? In this case, players can score TWENTY HotS Heroes just by logging in. Heroes are grouped together in any one of four bundles, each with a theme attached. The event will begin on April 25th and run through May 22nd. Once in game, you'll receive 100 gems, enough to purchase one of the bundles.
The Heroes of the Storm PTR will be updated later today to bring the newest hero and map to the Nexus. Overwatch's Genji will be playable on PTR as well as the Hanamura map with its new game play mechanic.
The fourth Overwatch character is coming to Heroes of the Storm as well as one of its original maps. Genji will be a "difficult" character to play and will utilize his signature shuriken, reflect and dash abilities straight out of Overwatch. In addition, his ultimate will see him use his katana to slice and dice the enemy.
The Heroes of the Storm patch notes have been posted with the notable announcement that Cassia, the Javazon from Diablo 2, has officially entered the Nexus. In addition, adjustments to The Butcher and E.T.C. have been applied, new skins and bundles have been added to the in-game shop along with bug fixes and feature adjustments as well.
The Heroes of the Storm team has put out a new video that profiles the next character coming to the Nexus: Cassia, the Amazon Warmatron. Cassia hails from Diablo 2 as a general of Amazon forces.
Heroes of the Storm is gearing up for its prolific Heroes 2.0 progression and rewards overhaul, but that’s not the only thing that’s coming in the next patch. Put your nostalgia hats on, because the MOBA’s next hero is slapping an old Diablo 2 classic straight into the Nexus. If you ever played a Javazon, then you’d better get ready for Cassia.
This week I had the opportunity to visit the Heroes of the Storm Spring Summit to get a sneak peak of what Blizzard has in store for the MOBA, and it turns out they’re planning a whole lot. So much so that they’re even touting this as the beginning of “Heroes 2.0”. So what does this entail? Let’s dive in.
Heroes of the Storm has been updated with an extensive new patch that brings a number of pretty cool things into the game. Most notably, the Starcraft hero Probius is now a part of the Nexus and it brings a pretty suit set of abilities with it.
Blizzard has revealed a lot of information about the next Heroes of the Storm championship tournament for Heroes of the Dorm. Beginning this weekend, sixty four college teams will start competing to earn a slot in the Las Vegas Championship taking place on April 8th.
The next hero heading into the Heroes of the Storm Nexus is an unlikely one. Hailing from the Starcraft universe, "Probius" is, as the name implies, a literal probe. He is a ranged specialist that uses Pylons and Photon Cannons to take out enemies at range.
As part of the monthly update, several Heroes of the Storm characters have had adjustments made to abilities, most particularly those with long-duration stuns or roots. Varian, Malfurion and Murky have had tweaks applied to their abilities that hinder opponents' movement. Tychus has also had some of his ranged abilities decreased and a slight damage reduction as well.
During the Azeroth Challenge event, Heroes of the Storm players who take on 15 games with a friend and while playing a World of Warcraft character will be able to earn a brand new mount in both games. The HotS mount is the Flames of Judgment Charger while the WoW mount is called the Primal Flamestrider.
Heroes of the Storm is running a nifty cross-game promotion. Between February 14th and March 14th, play fifteen games with a friend while also playing as a Warcraft hero and earn the Flames of Judgment Charger in Heroes and the Primal Flamesaber in World of Warcraft.
