The world ofOverwatchhas been crossing over intoHeroes of the Stormin a big way as of late, and it all appears to be tying into the game’s big 2.0 update. Featuringloot boxes in a similar fashion toOverwatch, the latest update is bringing with it several major nods to Blizzard’s blockbuster first-person shooter. Of course, this all means that it was only a matter of time before other heroes joined the fray, and the developer surprised everyone today by confirming yet another new character joining the crossover-centric MOBA in the form of D.Va.
Outside of that, there’s quite a bit of additional things forOverwatchfans to look forward to, likeGenji joining the ever-growingHeroes of the Stormroster, and the latest cinematic forHotStackles that belief head on by showing off a new map based on Hanamura. Those that frequentOverwatchenough will know that this map is strongly associated with Genji (and his brother Hanzo), making it an ideal battleground for the likes of Diablo and the cyborg ninja to go head to head – which is exactly what they do.
Those eager to see the latest eye-poppingly gorgeousHeroes of the Stormcinematic can do so below.
Those that find themselves more drawn toOverwatchthanHeroes of the Stormmay soon want to change their attitude, as Blizzard has confirmed that exclusives skins for both Genji and D.Va will be made available to those that complete a set of challenges in the latter during a four week window. Some will recognize the Oni Genji skin as one that was available as part of a similar promotion last year, and blizzard has opted to give fans one more shot at owning the alternate aesthetic.
Although Tracer, Zarya, andHeroes of the Storm’s newly added Lucioare still sans unique skins, fans ofOverwatchare sure to be happy with what awaits them inHeroes of the Storm 2.0.
