Blizzard has rolled out the Heroes of the Storm 2.0 update, and it revealed that D.Va will be the fifth Overwatch hero crossing over to the Nexus.
The fun doesn't stop there either, as the widely admired mech pilot from South Korea is getting an unlockable Officer D.Va Skin via the Nexus Challenge 2.0.
Nexus Challenge 2.0: Heroes, 'Overwatch' Rewards
In the awesome video posted below, Genji goes toe-to-toe with Diablo in Hanamura.
As the epic battle turns sour for the cybernetic ninja, he gets backup support from none other than D.Va.
While it doesn't show much about how she'll work in Heroes of the Storm, it confirms that she's the next hero coming to the MOBA.
Meanwhile, the Officer D.Va Skin is part of the in-game rewards that players can get by completing quests in the Nexus Challenge 2.0, a four-week event.
Particularly, the skin is a reward in Quest 2, which starts on May 1. Aside from that, it'll unlock the Busan Police Hovercycle Mount in Heroes of the Storm.
Here's a quick rundown of what's in store:
Quest 1
Heroes of the Storm: Orochi Hovercycle Mount, Oni Genji Warbanner, Oni Spray, and Oni Genji Portrait
Overwatch: Oni Genji Skin, Oni Genji Player Icon, and Oni Genji Spray
Quest 2
Heroes of the Storm: Busan Police Hovercycle Mount
Overwatch: Officer D.Va Skin
Quest 3
Heroes of the Storm: Overwatch Nexagon Mount, Officer D.Va Banner, Badge Spray, and Officer D.Va Portrait
Overwatch: Officer D.Va Spray and Officer D.Va Player Icon
Quest 4
Heroes of the Storm/Overwatch: 10 Loot Chests
Heroes Of The Storm 2.0 Update: What's New?
Arguably the biggest highlight of the 2.0 update is the arrival of Genji and the new Hanamura map. This makes the cybernetic ninja the fourth Overwatch hero to join the Heroes of the Storm roster, following Tracer, Lucio, and Zarya.
He's coming in with a familiar skillset that consists of Shuriken, Deflect, and Swift Strike, as well as the Heroic Abilities Dragonblade and X-Strike.
What's more, Blizzard is giving away 100 gems to let players avail one out of four Mega Bundles and get 20 free heroes. The caveat is that users can unlock only one of the bundles, and they must log in between April 25 and May 22 to acquire the gems.
Blizzard isn't stopping there, introducing a new progression system that lets players net Veteran Loot Chests, which will contain at least one Legendary item and five Nexus Coins. For every 100 Player Levels, they will receive 1 Veteran Loot Chest.
The thing is, the minimum specifications of Heroes of the Storm have been increased, with the CPU requirement updated to Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom X4 and the GPU to Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT or ATI Radeon HD 4650 - Intel HD Graphics 3000 remains the same. While that isn't much, it still spells bad news to low-end gamers.
It should also be mentioned that the patch notes include a ton of bug fixes and changes to heroes.
