Friday's opening ceremony was thrilling as always, and during the morning's presentation, Mike Morhaime revealed a number of exciting announcements for Heroes of the Storm. The biggest news by far was that development was continuing at a good pace, and that the upcoming date for Closed Beta was just around the corner on January 13, 2014. That wasn't all, though! We also announced new upcoming content and features, including Heroes like Thrall, Jaina, the Lost Vikings, Sylvanas, King Leoric, the Butcher, and the Crusader, along with some breathtaking new Battlegrounds like Sky Temple, and the addition of Ranked Play and Draft Mode! You can see them in action in the feature trailer below:
