Blizzard Entertainment, the most popular online game publishers on the earth, is holding its annual BlizzCon event this weekend. The publisher is understood for making big announcements on the events, and this year isn’t any exception.
Blizzard has finally taken the wraps off its new MOBA game, previously codenamed Blizzard All-Stars. The title is now Heroes of the Storm.
Heroes of the Storm is Blizzard’s tackle the DOTA-style MOBA genre, which began as a mod for Blizzard’s Warcraft III. Though Valve has taken up the DOTA brand and Riot Games’ League of Legends is the most well liked within the genre, Blizzard’s Heroes is, perhaps, the sole one of the recent MOBA games that stands an opportunity of developing a competitive audience.
The game will feature characters from Blizzard’s biggest franchises – Warcraft, Diablo, and Starcraft. Characters include World of Warcraft‘s Malfurion Stormrage, Starcraft‘s Sarah Kerrigan, and Diablo himself. The multiplayer maps can be taken from various locations in those game franchises.
Blizzard is already taking beta sign-ups for Heroes of the Storm on the game’s new website.
