Heroes of the Storm is populated by characters made popular by the Blizzard games, including Jim Raynor from StarCraft, Azomodan from Diablo 3, and the Lick King from WarCraft. The challenge in Heroes of the Storm Beta is to destroy the opposing side’s guard towers, buildings, and ultimately, their fortress. Unlike real time strategy games, MOBA games have you concentrating on a single hero at a time, with a unique set of abilities. You can read more about that here.Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard’s foray into the world of MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) is their attempt to take on giants like League of Legends and Dota 2. The news comes just as Blizzard has revealed a new map coming to Overwatch, along with massive changes to the game's competitive mode. No word yet on when exactly the update is arriving, but expect it to be soon. You can learn more about the two maps in the video below. The other, Warhead Junction, is a three-lane map in which players collect warheads that can be used against the enemy team to deadly effect. One map, Braxis Holdout, is a two-lane map that has players filling a holding cell of Zerg minions in order to perform a deadly Zerg rush to help destroy the enemy base. Two new Starcraft-themed maps are also being added to the game. A new mount is also being added in the form of the Ghost Speeder, matching Kerrigan's new look. Kerrigan, originally from Starcraft, takes on a new form with her Queen of Ghosts skin. The theme of the update is Starcraft, so Rexxar (and his bear) can be seen sporting power armor in a new skin while the Butcher transforms into a terrifying new form of Zerg. Joining Zarya and Alarak are also a number of new skins for a variety of heroes, like Rexxar, Butcher and Kerrigan. The two new heroes are just the beginning of the update. Unlike in Overwatch, Zarya has a second ultimate ability in Heroes of the Storm that pushes enemies out of a target location, perfect for denying the enemy team an objective or for a quick escape. She has the ability to shield both herself and her allies from damage, and one of her ultimates, Graviton Surge, pulls enemy into a target location. Her Q ability is particle grenade, just like her secondary fire in Blizzard's competitive shooter. For those who have played Zarya in Overwatch, you should have a good understanding of her capabilities in Heroes of the Storm.
So far, Tracer is the only Overwatch character to make the cut, but that will soon be changing when Zarya arrives in the Nexus in the next update for the game.Īs revealed by Blizzard during Gamescom, Zarya from Overwatch and Alarak from Starcraft will be the game's two newest heroes added in the upcoming "Machines of War" update. Blizzard's free-to-play MOBA Heroes of the Storm is filled with characters from across all of Blizzard's various game franchises.
