Start planning your Heroes of the Storm strategy now, folks. We asked designer Kent-Erik Hagman from Blizzard Entertainment to tell us his best tips...
Blizzard showcased three new heroes for the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) today during the Gamescom show in Cologne, Germany. The first one, Kharazim the Monk from Diablo, we already knew about. He can perform as either a melee fighter or healer. The two other characters are entirely new.
It's different in many ways from the standard MOBA, but most players should finally be able to pick up game in the genre thanks to Heroes of the Storm.
MOBAs are incredibly popular, with the market bringing in $54 million a month in the U.S. alone, according to industry-intelligence firm SuperData Research. However, mega-hits like League of Legends and Dota 2 dominate the field.
