Hanzo and Alexstrasza join Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm

Blizzard unveiled today that Overwatch’s Hanzo and World of Warcraft’s Alexstrasza are joining its multiplayer online battle arena Heroes of the Storm at the opening ceremony of its annual fan event BlizzCon in Anaheim, California. In addition to the two new heroes, Heroes of the Storm will also be getting a 2018 update that will include a new map and improvements to gameplay such as stealth and laneing.

Hanzo hails from Blizzard’s hit team shooter Overwatch, which now boasts over 35 million players. He’s an archer that can act as a ranged assassin. World of Warcraft’s Alexstrasza, also known as the Binder of Life and the Queen of the Dragons, can transform into a fire-breathing dragon. News of the two characters joining the Heroes of the Storm roster was leaked earlier today by a Chinese Heroes of the Storm website.
