Yesterday Blizzard released a new animated short called MechaStorm, and it's designed to get you excited about buying skins in Heroes of the Storm, but it has got fans wanting more of the beautiful and well done anime style for other characters in the game! So we are totally fine with this promotion because the animation is pretty wonderful and breath taking. You should watch it now down below.
With the awesome guitar and camera movements, the two-minute animation seems like it’s relating to Gundam while also treating what makes anime so great with respect. Blizzard went to a lot of effort to promote its new “Mecha Storm” skins for Diablo’s Tyrael, Warcraft’s Rehgar and StarCraft’s Abathur, and we appreciate that effort.
“If it’s style you’re after, our Mechas are crafted using only the finest, artisanal techniques and the rarest materials,” the official description of the new skins states. “With upgraded visual effects on their abilities and altered voiceover kits, you’ll be so sleek, sophisticated, and intimidating during hostile engagements that even D.Va will be jealous — Hell, we’ve even installed custom Hearthstone animations for Tyrael and Rehgar so you can show off even more flair when you need to make an exit.”
You can read more about the skins and the bundle that will available until Jan. 29 over on Blizzard’s website, but we’re just happy to have such a fun little trailer that relates to anime fans and also for the new content. Blizzard should totally do more videos in this style, it is a good way to get the word out about new content and get fans excited about new content!
