Update: Players who pre-purchased physical versions of Legacy of the Void may contact Customer Service starting on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 to gain early access to Artanis on October 20. Click here for details.

Hierarch of the Protoss, Artanis, is about to join the Nexus – and it’s not a Protoss Nexus we’re talking about here… it’s Heroes of the Storm.

While you lead Artanis to the furthest reaches of the Koprulu Sector in search of hidden artifacts and a powerful dark god in Legacy of the Void, you’ll also be able to charge him into combat on the various battlefields of the Nexus. That’s because all purchasers of StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void will unlock access to Artanis in Heroes of the Storm.

In addition, those who have pre-purchased a digital copy of Legacy of the Void will gain exclusive access to Artanis starting October 20 PDT, a full week before he is available for sale on October 27. So whether you enjoy StarCraft, Heroes, or both, this is the perfect opportunity to experience the StarCraft universe and its characters in ways you may never have before.

We’re excited for the release of both Legacy of the Void, and Artanis in Heroes of the Storm. In the coming weeks, we’ll have more news to share about what else you can expect to find in both the Nexus… and the Void.
