The most interesting thing about Blizzard’s MOBA, Heroes of the Storm, is how they try to tie everything together in order for it to make sense. Keep in mind that this game is bringing characters from all other Blizzard games together and putting them in one place. Now, they are aiming to expand the lore behind the game itself, so we will be getting characters from the Heroes of the Storm universe, first of which is the Raven Lord, a guy that is doing some troublesome things. If you want to know more about the character, there is a comic out already called “Rise of the Raven Lord”, so check that out if you haven’t already.
The main appeal of Heroes of the Storm is the idea that it’s this battlefield where you could pick any of your favorite characters from your favorite Blizzard titles and battle other characters from Blizzard’s selection of games. Now they want to incorporate a storyline into this game which contains original characters that no one is familiar with. Depending on how well they manage to pull this off, this can be either a big success or a horrible failure. This whole thing is centered around the Raven Lord and something called the “Dark Nexus”, and the upcoming skin drop is centered around the corruption that is spreading as the result of opening the Dark Nexus.
Blizzard may just find a way to piece all of this together, and while the “Rise of the Raven Lord” comic is pretty vague, it can still turn out to be an interesting story piece, but we will have to wait for more explanation and story details to see how it all turns out.
