Nexus 2.0 Challenge and Rewards Plus New Overwatch Skin

By Guest WriterApril 26, 2017
Hots Nexus 2,0

Want to Unlock cool in-game Rewards?

With the success of the original “Nexus Challenge” at the launch of the “Machines of War” event, Blizzard has decided to kick off the Heroes of the Storm 2.0 update with another “Nexus Challenge”. This time around the enticing offer includes a new D.Va skin for you to unlock in Overwatch which is perfectly timed with the reveal that D.Va will be the newest hero to join the Nexus. Cross-promotion has indeed helped swell the player pool of Heroes of the Storm due in part to the overwhelming popularity of Overwatch, and with the inclusion of more heroes from Overwatch, more and more people are flocking to see some of their favorite heroes in action outside of their main games. The Nexus 2.0 Challenge 

The Nexus 2.0 Challenge is a 4-week long event that requires you to simply play 5 games of Heroes of the Storm with someone on your friends’ list.
