Heroes of the Storm gets more Overwatch love with Ana, Junkrat, and Volskaya Foundry

Blizzard revealed today that two new characters and a new map inspired by Overwatch are coming to its multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) for PC, Heroes of the Storm. Junkrat and Ana are joining the fight, while Volskaya Foundry will be the new battleground. We don’t know when the update with all this new content will launch.

Heroes of the Storm combines character from all of Blizzard’s properties. Overwatch, however, is one of Blizzard’s hottest games. The team-based shooter has more than 30 million players after launching in May 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Adding more Overwatch content to Heroes of the Storm can attract the shooter’s fans to the MOBA.
