Blizzard Surprises Everyone With A New Heroes Of The Storm Addition

By QuintLyn Bowers, News Editor December 31, 2018

A new Hero is joining the Nexus on the Heroes of the Storm PTR in just a few days. Over the weekend, Blizzard surprised everyone with the announcement that Imperius -- an archangel from Diablo 3 -- will be making his way into the MOBA.

For the moment, the Heroes team hasn't posted anything other than the announcement on Twitter. This means that despite his arrival on the PTR in just two short days, we have no idea what his role and abilities will be. But, the good news is that despite Blizzard cutting back on the Heroes team, players can actually look forward to some new content -- at least for the time being.

This 'is' what happened to D3. Devs released a lot of content at once, and the community thought it was going to lead to better things, but in reality it was just the devs finishing up all the content they had in the works and pushing it out.

I don't know why this would be surprising when things are planned and made months in advance. We won't see the real impact of the dev cutback for a while.
