Heroes of the Storm Nexus Challenge 2.0: Overwatch news and D.Va update

While we already knew that Genji was going to be a big part of the new update, more has now been revealed on how other Overwatch characters are being deployed.

The Heroes of the Storm Nexus Challenge 2.0 is set to reward players with both Overwatch and HotS gear, with a total of four quest being deployed before May 22.

Starting with the launch of Heroes 2.0 today and lasting until May 22, all players will receive the Nexus Challenge 2.0 quest chain.

NEWS: HEROES OF THE STORM 2.0 EUROPE RELEASE TIMES

In-game rewards in both Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch are set to be offered to players who complete Heroes of the Storm games while partied with a friend.

The news was broken by Blizzard during the big 2.0 launch event. It should also be noted that Overwatch character D.Va is set to feature as one of those rewards, with at least one new skin confirmed.

This was briefly shown during the event and was revealed to be a police-inspired D.Va skin for use in Overwatch.

More big Overwatch news was also revealed, with D.Va now confirmed as the next character to be crossing over to Heroes of the Storm at a later date.

Here’s more information on how the new Nexus Challenge 2.0 will run:

  • A new quest will begin each week during the Nexus Challenge 2.0 event.
  • Only one Nexus Challenge 2.0 quest will activate in players’ Quest Logs at any given time.
  • Subsequent quests will not appear until their start dates have passed, and all of the player’s previous Nexus Challenge 2.0 quests have been completed.
  • For example: Players who wait until the final day of the event to begin their Nexus Challenge 2.0 quests (not recommended!) can still complete all four quests, but must do so one at a time.
