It is time: Blizzard has announced the release date of Heroes of the Storm. The MOBA will officially be released on June 2. In line with this, Blizzard has also provided a short trailer for the upcoming release.
It’s almost here, Open Beta coming soon!
Players who have not yet gained access to the Closed Beta do not have to wait until June 2 but can already join the open beta test phase on May 20. So about 2 weeks before release.
Heroes of the Storm will be released with more than 30 playable heroes, over 130 skins, 14 steadfast mounts, and seven dynamic battlefields. And many more game contents, such as heroes, skins, mounts, and battlefields, are in the works!
Blizzard recently announced that they want to release heroes at a higher frequency. Unfortunately, it is still uncertain whether new ones will be added before the release – at least some players are hoping for that. It will be interesting to see. We will keep you updated on new heroes and more.
In the coming months, even more exciting developments await you in Heroes.
No more account wipes
Players of the Closed and Open Beta no longer have to worry about possible wipes of their accounts. Blizzard categorically excludes this, as they announce on the HotS page.

If you want to celebrate the HotS release, you can travel to the official premiere party in London. However, you can also comfortably watch the event taking place on June 1 via livestream from home.
Not sure how the game is? Then we would like to recommend our beta test for HotS: Heroes of the Storm – Blizzard’s leftovers or an all-star team? If you want to take an early look at the MOBA, you need to keep your eyes peeled: Some sites are also giving away Closed Beta keys.
