Heroes of the Storm 2015

About

Heroes of the Storm is a multiplayer online battle arena video game by Blizzard Entertainment. The game brings together characters (known in the game as heroes) from multiple Blizzard universes, such as Warcraft and StarCraft and puts them against each other in an arena in a 5 versus 5 battle. Heroes of the Storm features multiple game modes, such as co-op (PCs vs. NPCs) and versus (PCs vs. PCs).

Story

Powerful warriors from Azeroth, Sanctuary, the Koprulu sector, and beyond have been sucked into the Nexus. Stranded in a strange limbo of clashing universes, these heroes have but one fate: endless battle for glory, survival, and just plain fun.

What is happening now

Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard's team-based MOBA, continues to receive regular maintenance despite its diminished profile in the competitive landscape. The game operates on a quarterly update cycle that includes balance adjustments, cosmetic additions like character skins, and map rotation changes. While the title entered a reduced support phase some years ago, the developer has kept the lights on with consistent patches that address character tuning and rotate available maps for players. Recent coverage has highlighted surprise from the community that Blizzard maintains any active development schedule for the title at all, suggesting the updates themselves have become somewhat noteworthy simply because they continue to arrive.
