Blizzard Entertainment has announced their plans to expand the universe of Heroes of the Storm in a big, lore-involving way this year. Game Director Alan Dabiri and Creative Content Lead Kevin Johnson sat down together to talk about the Nexus and give you the video you can find above.
The new story of Nexus starts with players getting better acquainted with the Raven Lord in the first issue of a new Heroes of the Storm comic series. You can find the comic and read it online on the official Blizzard site.
More about the game:
Heroes of the Storm is Blizzard Entertainment’s entry into the MOBA genre. Players are able to choose from a roster of heroes. These characters are taken straight from other Blizzard games such as World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, Starcraft, Lost Vikings and Overwatch. Players begin the game by choosing a hero that fulfils a specific role: Warrior, Assassin, Specialist or Support. There are a variety of maps, each with their own objectives. Players work in teams of five to destroy the enemy core. Characters level by taking down enemy heroes, destroying structures and completing objects (i.e. capturing mercenaries, etc.). Experience is shared among all players. The game modes are Training, Against AI, Quick Match, League of Heroes, Command League, Non-Ranked, Custom Game and Brawl. HotS also features daily quests that require a specific hero type to complete or to play/win a certain number of games.
