Heroes of the Storm is adding a new character to its expanding roster and is welcoming in StarCraft II's renegade outlaw, Tychus Findlay. The Terran Marine will serve in the Assassin role, like Diablo's Valla and Warcraft's Falstad.

The announcement post reveals the ranged abilities that Tychus will bring to the battlefield, including Overkill, Frag Grenade, and Run and Gun. His passive ability is granted by his powerful minigun, giving him an offensive boost. His unlockable 'Heroic Abilties' borrow from the StarCraft universe, wiping out enemies with a Drakken Laser Drill and a giant Odin mech.

Watch Tychus make his presence known in the trailer below. Heroes of the Storm will enter its Technical Alpha soon.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
