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 ...

As I mentioned last week, Heroes of the Storm might be winding down when it comes to support from the top ranks of Blizzard (and Activision), but the team that's left is still passionate and willing to support the game as long as possi...

Although we recently learned that Blizzard would be winding down support for Heroes of the Storm, the game is far from dead as it stands right now. While future content could see massive drought periods, it looks like the team was able to f...

This very month Blizzard's new CEO came out and issued a paralyzing statement regarding Heroes of the Storm. The game would immediately begin winding down, with less frequent hero (character) releases and the complete obliteration of a...

[Update: Kaéo Milker, producer for the game, weighed in with an additional statement beyond what the top brass already said below. After noting his disappointment, the phrasing seems to indicate that this was a surprise to the t...

Blizzard just launched its latest patch for Heroes of the Storm this week, and among many alterations and balance changes comes one major update: Janitor Leoric. I know what you're thinking: what's the big deal with a skin? Well, it origina...

Blizzard took to the stage at this year's BlizzCon to announce that Orphea, the Raven Lord's daughter, was coming to Heroes of the Storm. For Heroes players who even know who the Raven Lord is there was a mixed reaction. For every...

This is not a drill! At long last, the fan-made Janitor Leoric concept for Heroes of the Storm is happening. During a showcase for the all-new character Orphea at BlizzCon, Blizzard revealed several silly skins and one of them caused us to ...

Blizzard kicked off BlizzCon right with a brand new original character reveal for Heroes of the Storm: Orphea. In the clip, Orphea is arguing with The Raven Lord (another original Heroes character) and does battle with her dark powers...

After years and years of Warcraft III (I'm so glad that game doesn't have a /played command) I've had plenty of time to assess which hero is my favorite. All of them have their own charm, but the Dreadlord (a role often times filled by...
