Heroes of storm · DIGIT-ARC

Heroes of the Storm is an upcoming multiplayer online battle arena video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, and OS X. The basis of the game is the combination of heroes from Blizzard's Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft franchises. It is planned to be a free-to-play digitally distributed online game, supported by micro-transactions.[1][2] As of August 2013, the game was in internal testing at Blizzard.[3] Blizzard for the moment is avoiding calling their game a "MOBA" or an "Action RTS" because they feel it is something different.[4]

So would it remain F2P or not, because last time a read a article from Eurogamers stating that Blizzard won't go in F2P business.

That's only for World of Warcraft. Their card dueling game, Hearthstone, is also going to be F2P.

Y'all know that this is the game fuelled by Butthurt after Blizz lost DotA to His Holiness Lord GabeN of Valve

Indeed. Guess we have to wait and watch how good the game is. Though it would be awesome to play as Korrigan

It will be more likely F2P but Pay to Win.

Any idea when it will be in beta/open beta, or available to play?

its F2P and absolutely not P2Win..
Blizzard is following the same trend as Riot and Valve, by going F2P and adding small microtransactions that doesnt alter the game balance in any way

This game is aimed directly against DOTA 2,But I highly doubt it will even make a 5% difference.
DOTA 2 FTW

But yeah,The game does look impressive

Why do people make such games but Survarium looks promising though. Its the sequel to STALKER Series. If Single player comes then its awesome.

That was bound to happen. There were no new Warcraft titles for IceFrog to expand upon and Blizzard thought that Dota would keep Warcraft 3 in the market forever, they were wrong.

even the "Heroes" in this game resemble Dota 2 chars

you underestimate the quality of the games blizzard makes!
there are very high chances that it will smoke both LOL and Dota 2 on release! Coz the experience provided by blizzard is just different all together!
For example Hearthstone, its an instant super hit, its a copy of MTG but really well executed!
You can counter say that diablo3 failed hard coz of no endgame, but diablo3 core game mechanics, the programming, internal design, is the best out there!

you should understand that dota was built on top of the warcraft engine made by blizzard, which was further developed, copied to make LOL and Dota 2

And no heroes don't resemble dota 2 chars, all heroes are from blizzard past games, they use their spells from previous games!

It is the other way , all the Dota heroes are Warcraft charecters.

it might take years before they reach LoL's level of popularity ..
But the screenshots look fantastic, must try

But will they release it F2P?

ofcourse they will, MOBA is meant to be a f2p game..
I dont see how Blizzard could make any profit by introducing a new IP that only a niche audience of gamers play (MOBA)

Yes.. But there are lags.

No gold no items, so no farming in lanes. it is all about xp and level up and abilities. There are multiple maps.
