Blizzard announces a June 2nd official launch date for
Heroes of the Storm,
their free-to-play MOBA featuring characters from various Blizzard games that's
currently in closed beta testing. Here's word on release plans, which will
include a livestream the day before the launch:
Heroes of the Storm will
launch with more than 30 playable Heroes and 7 dynamic Battlegrounds, each with
unique challenges to overcome—and even more Heroes and Battlegrounds are on the
way. Players can customize the look of their Heroes with a variety of skins, as
well as switch between a stable of special mounts that help them cover ground on
the battlefield more quickly.
To celebrate the launch of Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard will be holding a
live-streamed event on June 1 in London, U.K.. Further information will be made
available as the event draws closer.
