Even Heroes of the Storm is not exempt from the trend. The new heroine Orphea is all about tentacles and fangs – we show her cinematics.
During the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2018, numerous announcements were made for the Blizzard game worlds. One of the highlights is the announcement of a new hero in Heroes of the Storm: Orphea.
Who is Orphea? If you are now scratching your forehead in confusion and wondering which universe Orphea comes from, you need not worry.
Orphea is a new, standalone character who comes from Heroes of the Storm itself. The team has been trying to establish a standalone lore for some patches now, and Orphea will be the first playable character from it. She is the daughter of the Raven Lord.
Orphea in Cinematic: To introduce the new heroine, there is also a fresh cinematic with an unusual presentation style. Here we see Orphea fighting against the Raven Lord, who is currently trying to bring the various realms connected through the Nexus under his control.
Free for all BlizzCon attendees: Those who were present at BlizzCon or bought (or will buy) a Virtual Ticket will receive Orphea for free as soon as she is available in Heroes of the Storm. She is thus another goodie of the BlizzCon ticket.
Orphea’s abilities: In Heroes of the Storm, Orphea will be a quite agile assassin who acts from a distance. She uses the dark creature from the box that she carries permanently on her back. What exactly that is, one might not want to know.
Orphea enters the Nexus starting November 14.
More from BlizzCon and also about Heroes of the Storm will be available throughout the night – we will keep you informed.
