'Heroes of the Storm' v2.0 Will Revamp Progression, Add New Hero, And More - Screens & Trailer

Originally called Blizzard DOTA, then Blizzard All-Stars, Heroes of the Storm is Blizzard's own free-to-play take on the Massively Online Battle Arena genre, featuring heroes and villains from the Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo franchises.

In Heroes, the epic battles between the champions and villains of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo aren’t settled with last hits and kill-stealing—players are distinguished through the accomplishments of their team.

Whether you’re a hardcore WoW raider, a demon-slaying Barbarian, or a Bronze league Terran, you’ll find a customizable hero from across the Blizzard multiverse to suit your play style. Grab your buddies and engage in fast-paced mayhem across varied battlegrounds that impact strategy and change the way you play every match. When the mightiest characters in gaming history clash, only you can decide who’ll come out on top!

Characters like Thrall, Kerrigan, Diablo, Arthas, Zeratul, Tyrael—powerful warriors from Azeroth, Sanctuary, the Koprulu sector, and beyond—have been sucked into the Nexus, a transdimensional storm. Stranded in a strange limbo of clashing universes, these combatants are joined by the same fate—to engage in pulse-pounding combat, to team up in a deadly struggle for survival . . . and to answer the age-old question...


Coming April 25th, Heroes 2.0 reflects the evolution of Heroes of the Storm, encompassing all the improvements the game has seen since launch, as well as the wealth of new system changes on the horizon. This includes an overhauled progression system, Loot Chests that give all Heroes players access to fun cosmetic rewards, and exciting upcoming content.

Heroes of the Storm 2.0 Highlights:

  • Revamped progression system
  • Loot Chest rewards for all players
  • New currency Gems will replace real money
  • Forge cosmetic items with shards
  • Fun new social and customization rewards
  • New Hero: Cassia, the Javazon

In addition to the updates coming with Heroes of the Storm 2.0, a new challenger is joining the Nexus! Cassia, Amazon Warmatron of the Askari joins the line-up, bringing the glory of the Diablo II “Javazon” to Heroes!
