Just because Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm is in the middle of a technical alpha doesn't mean that they can't celebrate Halloween. The Blizzard MOBA will also be getting into the spirit of the holiday, thanks to some unique Halloween skins for many of the game's characters.

The Hallow's End update will include Countess Kerrigan, Skelethur Abathur, and Infested Tychus skins. The skins are all avaialable now in the in-game shop for purchase and, as a reminder, everything you buy now is for keeps.

Blizzard is also hoping more players will get in on the fun and is offering an incentive to skilled players currently playing the alpha. Anyone that reaches Level 20 between now and November 18 will be entered in a drawing, in which the winner and all of their regional Battle Tag and Real ID friends can jump into the technical alpha. Those hoping to go a different route can also enter a drawing through the game's Facebook page. For more information, check out Battle.net.

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?
