Heroes of the Storm’s 2.0 update will add Overwatch’s loot system

Overwatch’s popular loot system is coming to another Blizzard game.

Today, the publisher announced Heroes of the Storm 2.0, an update coming to its PC multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) on April 25. This will change the way players unlock cosmetic items, adopting a system similar to Blizzard’s Overwatch. That team-based shooter has become a big hit for Blizzard since launching last year, and now the developer is hoping that putting some of its ideas into Heroes of the Storm can give the free-to-play MOBA a shot in the arm.
