"It's the holiday season, and Santa Claus is coming around." His first trip will be Blizzard's
Heroes of the Storm, where he will deliver a package of toys.
Blizzard announced today the 2018 Winter Event for their popular MOBA game. But unlike traditional holiday events, the special items are not exactly the filled with Christmas cheer. Instead, Blizzard has opted for an alternative route, introducing toy-themed skins for some of the game's characters.
Hey, a new friend! What’s your name? Do you want to see my collection? This is Cuddle Bear Stitches. It’s meaner than it looks, just like my Unicorn plushie. And, uh, this is Dehakasaurus Rex. Do you like dinosaurs? Me too. Oh, and that’s Cosmic Force Valeera. I like her swords and her Cosmic Lion. Rawr!
For the 2018 Winter Event, Stitches, Rex, and Valeera will each be getting three unique toy-themed skins. Additionally, the Lion and Unicorn mounts will both be getting new skins as well. And there are all sorts of toy event portraits and sprays.
The event is brought together by "the most amazingest board game ever." Hosted by "The Kid” announcer, you'll have to complete active event quests to roll the dice and move around the boarding which, in turn, unlocks new quests. Completing quests will unlock special rewards, like the Dekahsaurus Rex Portrait, Plush Unicorn Portrait, and more.
While the 2018 Winter Event isn't exactly the most outright festive, items from previous Winter Events are also available. The 2018 Winter Event for
Heroes of the Storm runs from December 11 through January 7.
