Heroes of the Storm, colloquially referred to as Heroes or HotS, is a "hero brawler" game created by Blizzard Entertainment. It was released June 2, 2015.
Heroes of the Storm features characters from across several Blizzard franchises, including Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo and Overwatch.
Hearthstone crossover
As well as sharing many characters from the Warcraft franchise, Heroes and Hearthstone also have some direct crossover in the form of promotional quests, designed to encourage players to explore both games.
- Easy Rider - Achieving 100 wins in Ranked Play mode or Tavern Brawl mode will grant the player a special Hearthstone card mount in Heroes of the Storm
- Hero of the Storm - Reaching level 12 in Heroes of the Storm will grant the player the "Hero of the Storm" card back in Hearthstone
