News:: It shouldn't take too long to earn the new Overwatch rewards in Heroes of the Storm

It's an exciting albeit overwhelming week for Heroes of the Storm -- especially if you're an Overwatch fan. Aside from new character reveals (D.Va!) and introductions (Genji!), and the game's far-reaching 2.0 launch (expect to get a ton of free stuff), there's also another Nexus Challenge to undertake.

Last time, Blizzard had us play 15 matches in HotS with a friend to earn a sweet Oni skin for Genji in Overwatch, and 15 more for several hero unlocks and a 30-Day Stimpack. I did some of my matches by grouping with random players in the "nexuschallenge" chat channel, a surprisingly pleasant experience, and the rest with Destructoid's own Kevin McClusky, who was only just dipping his toes in the game. All told, it was a memorable event with a good incentive to get back into a game I enjoy.

For the Nexus Challenge 2.0, there's even more up for grabs, but the process isn't quite the same as before. The overall event runs until May 22, 2017, but it's further broken down into four individual "quests" that will open up one at a time, on a weekly basis, and must be completed in order.
