Developer Blizzard Entertainment has announced that the popular MOBA, Heroes of the Storm, has a brand-new playable character. Climatologist and Overwatch fan-favorite Mei has landed in Heroes of the Storm's Public Test Realm on PC, with an official launch scheduled for June 23.

There is one notable difference between HotS Mei and Overwatch Mei: she's a Tank this time around instead of a DPS hero. Otherwise, she brings her familiar Overwatch kit to Heroes of the Storm, such as her blizzard and ice wall abilities, with a few new additions. This includes a snowball that damages and slows enemies, a directional slide tackle that knocks foes backward, and more.

In addition to Mei, Blizzard is introducing two more elements to Heroes of the Storm's PTR: A new Nexus Anomaly and another in-game event.
