Hanzo And Alexstrasza Announced For Heroes Of The Storm
During the Blizzcon 2017 opening ceremony, Blizzard revealed a cinematic that confirms Overwatch's Hanzo and World of Warcraft's Alexstrasza are being added to the game.
Hanzo, obviously serving as an archer, is described as a "nimble ranger who can deal damage from afar." Alexstrasza can heal her team and, when the chips are down, transform into a dragon to really real damage to the rest of the team. Hanzo retains his Overwatch super of the twin dragons, as well, so the field will just be full of so many dragons.
Hanzo joins other Overwatch characters like Tracer, Ana, Junkrat, and more in Heroes of the Storm. He and Alexstrasza are part of the 2018 gameplay update, which also includes quality of life improvements like performance based matchmaking that matches people based on how they play.
Check out the cinematic below.
