Blizzard’s new “Heroes of the Storm” game will feature iconic characters from the StarCraft, Warcraft, and Diablo universes. Join the battle for the Nexus, take control of these characters, and enjoy adrenaline-charged battles.

Not right now, but soon!

Heroes of the Storm is scheduled to be released on June 2, 2015. If you want to play the game a bit sooner, your only option is to try the Beta. Open Beta testing begins on May 19. Game progress and purchases made during the open Beta will carry to the launch.



Heroes of the Storm – Main Features

• Battle for the Nexus – this free-to-play online team brawler promises to deliver epic, adrenaline-charged battles.
• Iconic characters – characters from the StarCraft, Warcraft, and Diablo universes will be available and players will have the option to customize their characters. Some 30 playable heroes will be available at launch; more will be launched afterwards.
• Challenging battlegrounds – 7 dynamic battlegrounds will be available at launch. Each battleground comes with its unique challenges. Unless you want to face defeat, you must adjust your strategy according to the battleground.
• Gameplay modes – there will be multiple gameplay modes. If you want to jump right in, you can try the Quick Match mode. If you want to play as a team against computer-controlled opponents, try Cooperative mode.

“With its focus on team play and fast-paced fun, Heroes of the Storm is a fresh take on a very popular genre,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’ve built Heroes of the Storm in a way that makes it accessible to new players, but also challenging enough for veterans who really want to put their skills to the test. We can’t wait to see what Heroes brings to the co-op and competitive scenes once the Nexus opens up to everyone.”
