Heroes of the Storm is coming up on its second year of "maintenance mode," an era in which Blizzard has greatly reduced the number of people on its development team and has dropped all official esports support. It's also still one of my mos...

After a long hiatus, both a tank hero and an Overwatch character have re-invaded Heroes of the Storm. Mei probably isn't the first pick for a lot of players when it comes to crossovers, but she slots in quite nicely with the crew ...

Welp, the mad people over at the Heroes of the Storm Reddit did it: they predicted the next character with blazing accuracy. Although the recent unexplained bout of in-game snow could have been teasing any number of chilly heroes, Mei...

Remember when select people based an entire leak off of whether or not the "same tree" was found in a reflection? This is kind of like that, but in-game! Taking to Reddit, f1bermau5 shared a discovery that seems to imply that Heroes of the ...

Every so often, dreams do come true. A few years back, an artist came up with an idea for the "Janitor Leoric" skin for Heroes of the Storm, and Blizzard made it happen. Now, I hope the same miracle occurs for the similarly clever "Professo...

It's hard to believe that I've been playing Heroes of the Storm consistently, every month, since it was available in alpha form in 2014. I'd have to really think about it, but it might be my most-played non-MMO title of all time. ...

Yes, Heroes of the Storm is still around. Although I wish the development team had more resources and backing from Blizzard, the team that does remain is doing a fantastic job of keeping everything fresh, delivering new events, me...

Heroes of the Storm is continuing its "Nexus Anomaly" concept, which drastically alters various bits of the game as a form of experimentation to keep the game fresh. If the community takes a liking to a particular feature, it could sti...

[Update: Blizzard has extended the free hero period to April 13.] As publishers continue to fight for the attention of everyone currently quarantined due to coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, more and more "free" offers are popping up on vari...

As promised, Blizzard just implemented the "Toys 2" event in Heroes of the Storm, which brings back the popular "Toys" celebration. The gist? You're getting a free pack of challenges that unlock cosmetics, as well as the always-popular...

I've been playing Heroes of the Storm for over four years now. There are very few games that manage to keep me captivated that long, but alas, the Heroes team managed to grab me where so many other MOBAs haven't. While others chase DOTA's f...

[Update: Blizzard briefly acknowledged Heroes during the opening ceremony today, confirming that Deathwing is going to be free for BlizzCon pass holders. All heroes will be free until November 10.] Despite the fact that it doesn't get ...

Heroes of the Storm is not dead. Although development has slowed down considerably (there have only been a few new characters out in 2019 compared to the usual cadence of "a ton") and the esports arm has been shut down, there's still a...

BlizzCon 2019 is scheduled for November 1-3 this year, and we can expect a whole host of announcements from Blizzard's standard stable of games, which now includes Overwatch. While all eyes are on a potential Overwatch sequel, we'll probabl...

Bust out your bobbed hair and turn up the jazz, because Heroes of the Storm is seemingly warping back to the 1920s. As teased on the game's official Twitter account, the new event seems to be called "The Scarlet Heist," and will provide new...

Heroes of the Storm is having an interesting year. Although a lot of people aren't happy with the way Blizzard decided to ramp down development, I've actually been enjoying the game on a regular basis, just as frequently as I have in the pa...

One of Heroes of the Storm's most popular developers, Kevin "Cloaken" Michael Johnson, left the team after Blizzard announced that it was curbing the game's production, and in April, left Blizzard altogether. Why am I telling you this?...

It feels like forever ago that Blizzard announced that they were winding down operations for Heroes of the Storm and cutting their entire eSports program, but that just happened this past December. Yet, in this past eight months, the r...

Heroes of the Storm isn't being updated as frequently as it once was. Blizzard has "winded down" the production of HotS, cutting its main eSports league and shuffled various key members of the team over to other projects. But that doesn't m...

Blizzard has been teasing the return of the MechaStorm anime-esque event (appropriately called MechaStorm II) in Heroes of the Storm for a while now, and right alongside of the launch of Neon Genesis Evangelion on Netflix, the pub...

[Update: You can find the Spotlight embedded below.] The last time Heroes of the Storm added a character (all the way back into January), it didn't really resonate with me. It wasn't the boon the game needed after it was put on notice last ...

Several months ago the existence of the Heroes of the Storm character Anduin was leaked from an international arm of Blizzard. The Heroes team kind of brushed it off, noting that he'll come when he comes: welp, he came. My fellow Alliance m...

Blizzard just rolled out the patch notes for the latest Heroes of the Storm PTR build, and it's a doozy. First off loot chests cannot be purchased for gems anymore (read: premium currency). Instead you can now buy rare loot chests for 3,000...

I've played a lot of Heroes of the Storm. When it launched a few years ago it was one of my most-played games of 2015, but at this point nearly four years later it's one of my most-played of all time. Very few joints would even hold a candl...

Heroes of the Storm's development is winding down, but as of now, new characters are still arriving. We can likely expect this cadence throughout the year as heroes who were previously in development need to see the light of day, but after ...
