Heroes of the Storm's Dark Nexus drop takes the game back to its narrative roots

Heroes of the Storm’s latest content drop, Dark Nexus, marks a new type of storytelling for the game. In a recent interview, HotS’ creative content lead, Kevin Johnson, explained why Blizzard are changing the game's narrative direction.

Speaking of storytelling, Deckard Cain is the most recent addition to Heroes of the Storm.

Johnson says “when we launched Heroes we did it with battlegrounds and environments that were unique to the game before beginning to bring in other Blizzard titles,” describing that process as something “that has always been central to the game’s DNA.” While those Blizzard universes have been important to the game’s growth, Johnson says “we’d like to see what we can do to get back to our roots and bring some new ideas to the table.”
