Overwatch: Holt euch die Genji-Oni-Skin in Heroes of the Storm

Overwatch fans will soon have a good reason to play Heroes of the Storm. Because those who play at least 15 games as part of the “Nexus Challenge” promotion will receive a unique Oni skin for Genji!

While Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch are fundamentally different games, those who can be excited about both MOBAs and team shooters can soon reap double rewards. Blizzard has announced the “Nexus Challenge” promotion from November 15 to January 4.

The long road to the Devil Ninja

In this, we only need to complete 15 games in Heroes of the Storm together with a friend in the Coop, Quick Match, unranked Team League, and ranked matches, and we will receive the following goodies as rewards:

• Oni skin, portrait, and spray logo for Genji in Overwatch
• Hero Zarya and Oni Genji portrait in Heroes of the Storm

However, if you complete a total of 30 games in Heroes of the Storm, you will get even better stuff, but only for Heroes of the Storm:

• Hero Auriel
• Hero Graumähne
• Hero Kerrigan
• Hero Li-Ming
• Mount: Orochi Hoverbike
• 30-Day Stimpack

As already mentioned, you must play with another player from your friends list for the games to count. However, those who already have the mentioned heroes will reportedly not receive any further rewards according to Blizzard employee Xenramek in the forum. Therefore, the 30-game challenge is particularly worthwhile for newcomers in Heroes of the Storm, who have only just found joy in the game thanks to the promotion.

Jürgen says: What do you think of the promotion in Heroes of the Storm? The clear goal seems to be to attract more Overwatch players to HotS, but is this effective? Are the two games not too different to engage the player base of one game for a longer time in the other? On the other hand, the cool Oni look for Genji is certainly worth going through 15 rounds of another game, even if one might not like it.
