Introducing "World of Warcraft's" Varian Wrynn and Ragnaros in "Heroes of the Storm"

According to Polygon, Varian Wrynn from ""World of Warcraft" is the King of Stormwind. His character in "Heroes of the Storm" is the first ever multiclass hero, being either be a shield-bearing tank of a warrior or a deadly, dual-wielding assassin, according to the developer. Ragnaros, on the other hand, is a villain from the same MMORPG and a playable raid boss in "Heroes of the Storm."

Kaeo Milker, production director of "Heroes of the Storm," mentioned that Varian will be available on test realm next week, Nov. 15 being the character's official release date, as IGN reports. Ragnaros, on the other hand, will be heading to the game on December.

 The newest brawl coming to "Heroes of the Storm" was also announced and is called "Blackheart's Revenge." The upcoming brawl is said to debut starting the week of November 15.

Gameplay-wise, one team will try to sink Blackheart's ship while possessing the Core, while the defenders will stand by captain Blackheart himself in defending the ship and preventing the enemies from gathering enough cannonballs to sink the ship.
