Blizzard has just announced that Heroes of the Storm's 2.0 update is now live for all players, adding a new progression system, a new hero (Genji from Overwatch), and more. You can read all the details in the patch notes below:
"Progression System Overhaul — Player level cap has been removed and transformed into the sum of all Hero levels gained, with even bigger rewards at levelling milestones.
Loot Chests — Packages containing random assortments of nearly every awesome reward in game, including Heroes themselves, are now received through progression or purchase.
Social & Customisation Rewards — Loot Chests also contain new cosmetic rewards for Heroes, including emojis, voice lines, announcer packs, banners, and more.
New Hero: Genji — An augmented cyborg ninja whose agility and skill make him an exceptionally lethal threat, the new Overwatch-inspired Hero is an opportunistic, highly-mobile Assassin who can tear apart a weak backline.
New Battleground: Hanamura — The Overwatch-inspired two-lane Battleground is set within the sprawling grounds of Shimada Castle; Heroes must find victory through use of the map's unique mercenaries, taking down the Mega Enforcer boss, and escorting the Payloads to victory."
Last night the company also announced that yet another new hero will be coming to the game soon, which is D.Va from Overwatch. Which aspect of 2.0 are you most excited about?
