Current latest Heroes of the Storm version in Battle.net (US region):

A GitHub action have been setup to automatically fetch, extract and upload the game data every night.

Blizzard usually patches the game at around 17:00 GMT. The CI will trigger automatically at 01:00 AM GMT to prevent any delays on the patch launch. Therefore, expect around a 8 hours delay.

Please see VERSIONS.md for a list of versions. The links of the version will direct to the commit URL.

(Special Thanks to Spazzo for providing a large amount of older game files!)
