Heroes fans have been treated to a torrent of news today at PAX East. Adding on to the deluge, Turtle Beach, makers of high-end audio equipment for gamers, have announced a license agreement with Blizzard Entertainment for Heroes of the Storm.

Turtle Beach, the leading audio brand in the games industry, today announced a new multi-year licensing agreement with Blizzard Entertainment around the highly anticipated Heroes of the Storm™ multiplayer game. As part of the agreement, Turtle Beach will develop PC gaming headsets for both elite and recreational players. Turtle Beach is the gaming audio brand of Parametric Sound Corporation

“Turtle Beach is very excited to announce this agreement with Blizzard around Heroes of the Storm,” said Bob Picunko Chief Marketing Officer at Turtle Beach. “We are looking forward to launching state-of-the-art headsets for one of PC gaming’s most anticipated titles, and working with Blizzard to introduce them to both elite and casual players.”

We don’t know what the headsets will look like, how much they will cost, or when they will be released. But from the announcement we can speculate there will be two versions: A mid-tier set for “recreational” players and a premium set for “elite” players. If you’re in the market for a new headset, it might be wise to wait for one of these new kids to hit retailers.
