/ Jeff Jones / Leave a comment

Blizzard has a revealed a new way to play with the addition of the new Arena mode for Heroes of the Storm. It looks to be a all out brawl mode with no objectives, similar to Smite’s arena mode. Everyone can even play as the same hero in the arena. Check out the trailer below. There is even some shade thrown at IGN. Pay attention to see if you can spot it.

There is no word on when this mode will drop yet, but I suspect “soon.”
