Overwatch’s wall-riding DJ, Lúcio Correia dos Santos, is coming to Heroes of the Storm as a playable character, Blizzard Entertainment announced today. Lúcio will be the third Overwatch character to join Blizzard’s crossover multiplayer online battle arena game.
Blizzard said on Twitter that players will be able to preview Lúcio in Heroes of the Storm’s public test realm “soon.” A peek at Lúcio in action can be seen in the gameplay teaser video posted above.
Overwatch players will find Lúcio’s abilities in Blizzard’s MOBA mostly unchanged, though he has a new ability called Reverse Amp that damages and slows the enemy team.
Lúcio joins fellow Overwatch characters Tracer and Zarya as part of Heroes of the Storm’s roster, which also includes characters from Blizzard’s Diablo, StarCraft, The Lost Vikings and Warcraft franchises.
