Blizzard has officially released a quick, kind of adorable mini-trailer that confirms that yes, "Heroes of the Storm" is the name of the upcoming Blizzard DOTA-style game, which has gone through two renames, starting out as Blizzard DOTA (despite the fact that Defense of the Ancients was created using Warcraft 3, Valve trademarked "DOTA" for use in their DOTA 2, despite the fact that it seems like League of Legends is the most prominent one,) then renaming it to Blizzard All-Stars, and now Heroes of the Storm.
I expect we'll be hearing a lot about this new game at Blizzcon, but it does have the interesting implication for WoW, which is that we can definitely rule out Heroes of the Storm as the next WoW expansion.
Which, simply by being a name that has been put forward and not explicitly denied, puts the Dark Below back at the top of the list of possibilities (though I'm still pretty skeptical.)
I've been following the rumor mill for expansion five pretty closely, but it's really anyone's guess at this point.
Good on Blizzard for keeping things locked up so tight. November 8th can't come soon enough!
