At Gamescom, a new battleground for Heroes of the Storm was revealed. The “Infernal Shrines” are currently in development.
The Infernal Shrines
Obviously, the “Eternal Conflict” is not ending as soon as thought. The next battleground in Heroes of the Storm is also set in the Diablo universe and features new, interesting mechanics for the fighters of the Nexus. The new map “Infernal Shrines” has 3 lanes and is therefore much closer to the “classic” MOBA variant.
This time, however, the special feature is the namesake shrines. Similar to the Sky Temple, three shrines activate at regular intervals and must be captured by the teams. As control is slowly gained, waves of enemies appear that must be defeated. If a team succeeds in completely clearing a shrine, this creates a Hell Lord that marches down the next lane. There are a total of three different Hell Lords, each with unique abilities. The special thing is: For the first time, the creatures seem to specifically target enemy heroes!
When the map will be finished and make it to the live version of Hots is of course still up in the air. We will report as soon as there is a fixed date.
