Necrotopologist MeiJacobs and Kinabrew admit Mei-a climatologist fighting for world peace in the Overwatch universe-isn’t exactly “cross-craft”, but interpreting her as an icy, evil Death Knight was simply too irresistible.“We thought this skin just had to happen,” says Jacobs.
King of Blades ArthasIn Jacobs’ point of view, Arthas-Warcraft’s Crown Prince of the Alliance turned Lich King-was the key actor that unraveled the worlds of possibility in CraftWars.“We were thinking that Arthas-Lord of the Dead, Lich King-would somehow take Kerrigan’s throne,” Jacobs says, slowly, his eyes growing wide.“But is Arthas conquering all the worlds? Or is he just after StarCraft?” the artist muses to himself.The artists have their own interpretations, but it’s up to you to decide in your next match. To take in the creation tale of this mighty patch, we sat down with Assistant Art Director Trevor Jacobs and Senior Artist Andrew Kinabrew. Who will emerge victorious? The newly crowned King of Blades, Arthas, or the resistance led by the Emperor of the Dominion, Anduin?Starting today, you can see the fight play out for yourself in the newly dropped CraftWars patch, with new skins, mounts, and more.
The throne of the Zerg has been usurped by the invading Betrayer King of the Alliance, but there is a force that stands to oppose him. Blizzard hasn’t given us any sort of time-frame as to when we can expect the new content, but if it’s anything like the Eternal Conflict, various pieces will see staggered release over the next month or so.There’s a war on in the Korprulu Sector: Battlecruisers are meeting Leviathans, and the asteroid fields are littered with the glowing husks of capital ships. You can read more about the event on the official website. Secondly, StarCraft‘s Alarak, a melee assassin will be added as a new hero, alongside plenty of new StarCraft-themed skins and mounts such as Kerrigan’s “Queen of Ghosts” legendary skins.įinally, while not from the StarCraft universe but still somewhat fitting of the theme, Overwatch‘s Zayra will be joining Tracer as the second Overwatch hero to be added to the game. These maps are the first StarCraft maps to be added to the game. “Braxis Holdout”, which takes place on the junkyard planet of Port Scion where terran and zerg forces clash, and “Warhead Junction”, which allows players to deal huge amounts of damage with nuclear weapons that spawn across the battleground. This time, it’s StarCraft‘s time to shine, as Blizzard has unveiled the “Machines of War” StarCraft-themed mini-expansion.įirst and probably most importantly, two StarCraft-themed maps will be added. Last year, a “mini-expansion” for Heroes of The Storm centered around Diablo content, the “Eternal Conflict”, brought with it some new maps and heroes. The “Machines of War” event for Heroes of The Storm will bring with it two new StarCraft-themed maps.
