Heroes of the Storm players must be prepared, as a new event is headed your way. Dubbed MechaStorm II, the event has players complete quests to earn rewards.
The first MechaStorm was a mecha-themed drop released back in January of last year. In terms of lore, MechaStorm told the story of the Mechas vs Kaijos alternate universe. For the game itself, the drop offered mecha skins for a number of heroes like the mecha Tyrael.
This time, the planet is threatened once again by Xenotech, with the new invasion being led by Mecha Malthael. The destruction has already spread across Neo-Stormwind and a number of cities and outposts have fallen. In order to fight the Mecha Arcangel of Death, a new generation of heroes have risen. These heroes are equipped with state of the art Mecha technology provided by Neo-President Anduin. Working alongside Valla and Yrel, the MechaStorm need to prepare and help stop the advance of Mecha Malthael.
Under the MechaStorm II Quest Chain, players need to repair, upgrade, and run repeatable combat simulation missions for each part of Mecha Tyrael. Each completion earns players mecha-themed sprays, portraits and loot boxes.
Beginning June 17 and running until August 5, the main goal is to stop the Xenotech invasion. During this period, all Loot Chests that are earned or bought are considered MechaStorm II Loot Chests. Each Loot Chest guarantees at least one item from either the current event or the previous years' Summer Events. Loot Chests earned prior to the event do not convert to MechaStorm II Loot Chests once the event starts.
The MechaStorm II event releases alongside the upcoming patch, which is currently available on the PTR.
