According to a new post on the Blizzard forums, complaining about the inability to get the new skins when restricted to just console play, many players are unhappy that they will never be able to get the cosmetic items. Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan joined the thread, admitting to fans that their frustration is completely understandable, and promising that the skins will be coming to regular Loot Boxes eventually.
Both Genji and D.Va have now joined the Heroes of the Storm roster after featuring in a new cinematic that pits the two Overwatch heroes against Diablo itself. The new additions join Tracer, Zarya, and Lucio in representing the first-person shooter as members of the MOBA’s diverse and varied cast, so players coming from Overwatch will have a few familiar faces to play as, even if they’ve never touched another Blizzard game before.
Heroes of the Storm also features several stylish skins for each of the Overwatch heroes present in its roster, which aren’t available to find in the team-based shooter. While Overwatch has more skins per character, the HOTS cosmetics often alter more about the hero’s appearance than simple color changes, and we’d love to see some of them be interchangeable between games.
