Heroes of the Storm Beta Adds Founder's Pack Access

If you’ve been waiting for access to Blizzard Entertainment’s upcoming MOBA Heroes of the Storm, your time has come.

Today Blizzard released a new way to enter the game with a $39.99 purchase.

The bundle includes beta access, 2,500 in-game gold, heroes Diablo, Tyrande, and Raynor, all with unique skins, as well as the Golden Cyber Wolf mount.

While some might balk at Blizzard adding a paid access option to a free-to-play game, the pack does have reasonable value when compared to purchasing those items separately. For others, access to the game, which up until now has been extremely limited, will be enough.

Blizzard also released a video in conjunction with Carbot Animations, which makes several animated series set in the World of Warcraft and StarCraft universes.

Here’s Blizzard’s description of the bundle, with the product requirements below:
