Test Chamber – Heroes Of The Storm Launch
Blizzard's take on the MOBA genre officially launches today after an extensive alpha/beta phase, bringing all your favorite franchises together for grandiose matchups and battles. Diablo and Jaina team up to take on Kerrigan, Thrall blasts Sergeant Hammer in her siege tank, and Murky... well, no one likes Murky, he just kind of splashes around and dies a lot.
Blizzard's take on the MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) is a highly accessible and decidedly different take from the three-lane base brawls that define other genre titles, featuring shared team experience, no item shops, and objective based gameplay on a variety of different maps.
Our full review will be live sometime in the next few days, but for now you can watch Daniel Tack and Wade Wojcik play a game in Hero League, one of Heroes of the Storm's ranked modes. Want a chance to win a Malfurion character and Storm Mantle skin? We've got 100 codes to give away, just say "Illidan" somewhere in a comment on this post!

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
