Blizzard Entertainment has announced that Xal’atath (World of Warcraft) has finally made her public debut in Heroes of the Storm. She was made available on the public test realm on September 14th, 2026 and is now available for public enjoyment.
This is a huge day for fans of Heroes of the Storm. A new hero has not been made available since 2020 when Hogger made his debut in the Nexus. This marks a revival of the Heroes of the Storm title as a whole, as Blizzard says we will be getting another new hero in the near future.
