Heroes of the Storm Adds Overwatch’s Genji and Hanamura Map

Genji

Both Genji and his Japanese-themed Hanamura map have just been added to Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm, following an update from Blizzard.

Available (in beta form) right now, Genji is an Assassin classed hero who has abilities similar to those seen in his Overwatch gameplay.

The new Hanamura map is a two-lane payload style map, the first of its kind to be added into Heroes of the Storm. Carts that reach their destination successfully will deal a significant amount of damage to the enemy core. The map also comes with new mercs, who are modelled on the ones seen in the “Dragons” animated Overwatch short:
