He might be dead (several times over), but don’t count Kel’Thuzad out. The iconic World of Warcraft villain has been resurrected to become the latest champion for Heroes of the Storm.
This latest character will be a ranged burst mage that locks down enemies and rips them apart with all sorts of spells. He can root enemies, bind them with chains, fire off a bolt of death and decay, and blast enemies with frost nova.
Blizzard obviously sees this as a Big Deal, because it’s giving the Archlich of Naxxramas an immense amount of attention as due a character that’s been lurking about in the franchise for 20 years now. In fact, Kel’Thuzad even got an animated short and will be the focus of a five-part (!) series detailing his history and resurrection. Check out the beginning of all of this after the break.
