Machines of War: News Skins & Mounts
by JR Cook - 8 years ago show comments
If you are a fan of new skins and mounts then you are going to love the upcoming Machines of War event.
This Starcraft themed event includes two new Heroes in Alarak and Zarya, so naturally there will be new skins for accompanying those Heroes. The Herald of N’Zoth skin for Alarak manages to be both amazing and terrifying at the same time.
Other Heroes getting new skins as a part of this event include Kerrigan, Rexxar, and the Butcher. Speaking of terrifying, have you seen the Butcherlisk?
There will also be new mounts available in the Obsidian Cyberwolf and Ghost Speeder. The Speeder will be a part of the Queen of Ghosts bundle for Kerrigan, but the Cyberwolf will only be available as a part of the massive Machines of War bundle. In a new twist, purchasing this bundle will grant players early access to several skins and mounts before they are available for individual purchase.
MACHINES OF WAR BUNDLE
The Machines of War Bundle is going to crash land in the Heroes of the Storm Shop on September 13*! Prepare for battle on planet Braxis by purchasing this bundle, and you’ll gain early access to several new skins and mounts—including Queen of Ghosts Kerrigan, our latest Legendary skin—before they are released for sale individually. What’s more, the Obsidian Cyberwolf mount is exclusive to the Machines of War bundle, and while it may return to the Nexus at a later date, this will be your only chance to add it to your mount collection for some time. Be sure to pick up the Machines of War bundle before it launches out of the Shop on October 18.
