Mephisto and Hanamura Temple are Live on Heroes of the Storm

Mephisto and Hanamura Temple are both now live on Heroes of the Storm. Both the new stage and new hero were announced ahead of Gamescom as part of Blizzard's Gamescom lineup.

The new hero, Meohisto, is nicknamed the Lord of Hatred, and looks more like a villain than anything else. But Heroes of the Storm isn't too picky on hero classifications as it is a MOBA. So any character you control is a hero. Even if he's named after a demon and lives for the suffering of his enemies.

Mephisto got himself a shiny new Hero Spotlight trailer, which you can check out.

Hanamura Temple, however, is much more pleasing to look at as far as MOBA stages go. It also has its own share of tricks and surprises.

You can check out Hanamura Temple in the Battleground Update video below.
