Overwatch's Genji Is Joining Heroes Of The Storm

Overwatch's Genji and the Hanamura map are making the jump to Blizzard's MOBA Heroes of the Storm, at least in beta.

Genji is an Assassin class in Heroes and has a larger skill set than in Overwatch. His increased mobility, basic shuriken spread attack, Deflect and Swift Strike abilities and Dragonblade ultimate are all present in some form. He also gains a new heroic ability, the X-Strike, which deals huge damage in a cross shape.

Despite being a control map in Overwatch, Hanamura comes to Heroes of the Storm as the MOBA's first payload battleground. With two lanes and a lot of open space, teams can only damage the opponents' core by pushing payloads across the map, with each successfully delivered cart dealing set amounts of damage to the core.

As of press time, there's no set date for a public release for Genji and Hanamura.
