Blizzard’s MOBA Heroes of the Storm will be launching later today and we’re sure many gamers are looking forward to getting their hands on the game. In meantime for those who were looking forward to more heroes from the Diablo universe joining the Heroes of the Storm lineup, you will be pleased to learn that Blizzard has released the hero trailer for Johanna the Crusader.

Johanna was confirmed as a hero for the game during last year’s BlizzCon. However it wasn’t clear as how the hero might play in Heroes of Storm, which we can only assume will differ very greatly from how the Crusader class is being played in Diablo 3. Well the good news is that Blizzard appears to have retained some classic Crusader moves.

What this means is that players can look forward to using skills like Shield Glare that will blind enemies. There also appears to be some kind of rush attack similar to Shield Bash, an attack where she hurls her shield like Blessed Shield, and a falling attack that looks like Falling Sword. Apart from that we can’t be too sure what else Johanna will be able to do, but she looks like a pretty awesome character for those who love their heroes heavily armored.

Like we said, Heroes of the Storm will be released later today and if you didn’t manage to get in on the open beta, starting later today you will be able to experience the game in all of its glory. In the meantime who’s excited for it?
