Overwatch’s Genji Oni Skin Can Be Earned Starting November 15th

Simply play a few games with friends in Heroes of the Storm.

Remember that special cross-promotional prize that Blizzard announced at Blizzcon 2016 for Overwatch fans who play an event in Heroes of the Storm?

The Oni skin for Genji (along with a portrait and spray) can be earned starting on November 15th according to the developer. Servers for Heroes of the Storm will go offline for maintenance at 6 AM PT to 10 AM PT after which a new patch will be released.

The Nexus Challenge event essentially sees you playing 15 games with a friend. Quick match, ranked, unranked and co-op against AI will all count (Brawl, training, tutorial and custom games won’t). The MOBA is free to play on PC and even console players can take part if they link their tags with Battle.net.

The event lasts till January 4th and if you play 30 games or more with friends, you can earn the skin along with characters in the MOBA like Kerrigan, Li-Ming and Greymane. An Orochi Hovercyle mount and 30-day Stimpack can also be earned. Will you be taking part? Let us know below.
