Blizzard announced at BlizzCon 2026 that Heroes of the Storm is adding its first new hero in six years: Xal'atath, a ranged assassin from World of Warcraft wielding Void powers. Her kit includes Void Volley, Dark Heart Ritual, Void Step, Shadow Mark, plus two Heroics—Void Eruption and Void Convergence—and she arrives later this month, with Blizzard suggesting more heroes may follow.
Blizzard announced at BlizzCon 2026 that Heroes of the Storm will begin a measured revival from maintenance mode, starting with Xal'atath, Warcraft’s void-wielding antagonist, as the first new playable hero in years. She will enter the public test realm on Monday ahead of a late-September launch, but Blizzard cautions that updates depend on player reception. The move follows the game’s dormancy since 2020’s Hogger release and hints at more Blizzard crossovers and even potential console support if the revival proves popular.
Blizzard revealed that Xal'atath will join Heroes of the Storm, marking the first new hero since Hogger in 2020. The character will enter the Public Test Realm on September 14, with a full release planned for September 28, as announced at BlizzCon.
