The next hero for Heroes of the Storm is Mephisto. The German Twitter channel for Heroes of the Storm has revealed the character’s appearance instead of giving a small teaser.
At Gamescom, Blizzard traditionally presents some small details that will be implemented in their games soon. For Heroes of the Storm, this means the announcement of a new hero. This should have been teased a little in advance via Twitter and sparked speculation. However, this time it has failed because Blizzard revealed too much: The next hero will be Mephisto.
Where did the leak come from? The source of the leak this time is the tweet from the German Twitter account for Heroes of the Storm. In the information of the small image, there was still the text “Teaser for Mephisto”, which pretty clearly confirmed who will enter the Nexus next. The tweet has since been deleted and re-uploaded without this information, but screenshots of it are still circulating online.
Who is Mephisto? In the universe of Diablo, Mephisto is one of the Prime Evils, the Lord of Hatred. His brothers are Baal and Diablo, who together continually represent adversaries in the games of the same name. Mephisto is also an important character in the backstory, entangled in many plots.
He is not only a powerful demon himself, but also the father of Lilith, who together with the Archangel Inarius is responsible for the birth of the Nephalem.
A surprise from Gamescom has already been ruined in advance. So far, however, it seems to not bother the fans, as they are looking forward to Mephisto.
Hope for more Diablo games. At the same time, the implementation of such an important Diablo hero leads to discussions about what else is planned for the Diablo franchise. After all, Blizzard only recently revealed that “several Diablo projects” are in the works. One of them is Diablo 3 for the Nintendo Switch. Other projects, such as a Diablo 4, are only being speculated about.
Are you already excited about Mephisto in Heroes of the Storm?
