Heroes of the Storm YouTube Launch Event Shows Off New Hero & Map

The YouTube launch event from yesterday for Heroes of the Storm, live-streamed with matches and announcements, has revealed a new hero and a map from the Diablo universe making its way into the game. This is sure to please Diablo fans who play Blizzard's new MOBA offering as well.

The new hero, which has been rumoured for days, has finally been revealed to be Butcher, the first act boss from Diablo III. The new map, Battlefield of Eternity, will be centred around the battle versus Heaven and Hell, and is quite impressive from the early map flyovers and reveals of map mechanics. You can see all of them courtesy of video snippets from the Heroes Nexus site, which has more information about these new content.

The entire YouTube event, which is around 3 hours long, is available here.
