Heroes of the Storm is turning two years old and Blizzard is ready to blow out the candles and celebrate with players. From May 30th to June 12th, those playing a single game will earn a Common Loot Chest. In addition, playing three games will net a portrait, spray and banner to the collections of participants.

Overwatch’s D.Va is now part of the Heroes of the Storm Nexus. She was released on to live servers on Tuesday. To spotlight her abilities and which characters she performs well against (and those who are her foils), the team has published a new spotlight article.

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 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.

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.
