Lunar New Year celebration comes charging into the Nexus! Heroes of the Storm players can look forward to a variety of cosmetic additions to the game, including new skins, portraits, sprays, mounts and more. All chests except the Hero-specific ones will be turned into Lunar Festival Loot Chests and have a chance of containing the limited time rewards. You can find out more on the official site.
Don your most festive garb and ready your fireworks: the Lunar Festival is here again! Lunar Sylvanas and Lunar Kael’thas have scintillating new looks to share. Lucky revelers may also come across the regal Lunar Guardian Mount.
If that is not enough reasons for excitement, you will be happy to hear that Maiev Shadowsong has finally arrived in the Nexus. Hide your Illidans!
Maiev Shadowsong stood watch over the imprisoned Betrayer for ten thousand years, and hunted him relentlessly after he was released. Some say she’s determined; others say she’s obsessed. Either way, she will stop at nothing to ensure the security of her world.
Heroes of the Storm PTR site has also been updated with a series of patch notes. Certain heroes such as Genji, Malthael, Greymane and others have undergone a tuning pass. On Volskaya Foundry map, Turrets can now be placed instantly while the Healing Pulse will from now on act like a totem, healing allies in a zone after being placed down. You can find the rest of the patch notes on the official site.
