We've had technical alphas and closed betas, but now Heroes of the Storm is out in the wild.

Blizzard has announced that its team-based battle arena game has now entered open beta.



Fans no longer need codes or invites, they can simply download the game by visiting the website.

The open beta is the final stop before the game launches in full on June 2. The developers will celebrate the launch with a livestream of the game on June 1.

It launches with 30 characters and seven battlegrounds from games such as Diablo, Lost Vikings and Heroes of Warcraft.



Blizzard has already announced the first global tournament series for the game.

The competition will feature regional championship tournaments for the Americas, Europe, China, Korea and Taiwan regions - with the top eight teams duking it out at the 'Heroes of the Storm World Championship' at BlizzCon on November 6 and 7 in Anaheim.
