Mephisto, Lord Of Hatred Coming To Heroes Of The Storm

Blizzard has revealed the latest playable character for Heroes of the Storm. Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred from the Diablo universe is making his way into Blizzard's fast paced MOBA.

The new character, along with an update to the Hanamura Temple map, were announced at Gamescom which is taking place from August 21-25 in Cologne, Germany.

Mephisto joins his brother and fellow prime evil partner Diablo in HOTS, opening the door to the eventual addition of Baal, the Lord of Destruction to complete the set. Blizzard put out a 5 minute character spotlight for Mephisto explaining his place in the HOTS roster. A ranged assassin, Mephisto excels at dishing out damage to multiple targets.

Blizzard has been teasing updates for their Diablo franchise lately. The Nintendo Switch will be getting a port of Diablo 3, the first collaboration between the two companies since Starcraft 64 over 15 years ago. We'll likely hear further announcements during Gamescom this week or during Blizzcon in November.
