Genji From Overwatch Coming To Heroes Of The Storm
Overwatch's Genji has been added to the Heroes of the Storm 2.0 beta, and along with him comes his boyhood home of Hanamura as a payload battleground and a new heroic ability – X-Strike.
Genji's Swift Strike, Shuriken, Dragonblade, and Deflect abilities come with him, as does a new heroic ability called X-Strike. This is a slash attack that detonates in an area for additional damage.
The Hanamura payload battleground (two lanes) features a payload that must be pushed across the map in order to release dragons to damage the enemy's core.
Genji and Hanamura are part of Heroes of the Storm's 2.0 update on April 25.
