So excited to see more Nexus lore! What other fun things can the singularity do? Dark Murky inc. <3

Very excited for some Nexus Lore characters! Reckon they'll be added in game?

[DesoPL]

Probably Dark Nexus Dehaka coming as well? And new battleground?

I think the comic teased towards a new BG, yeah. Was looking for other teasers but other than Dehaka I don't see anything aside from the Malthael/Gravekeeper stuff. Malthael already has his Gravekeeper skin, though, so I don't think he'll get another in the next batch of story skins.
