Heroes of the Storm gets first new hero after supposed death and 6 year wait
Filling the void.
For the first time in six years, Heroes of the Storm is set to receive a significant update with the introduction of a new hero. At today's Blizzcon opening ceremony, Blizzard announced that Xal atath, the Harbinger of the Void from World of Warcraft's Legion expansion, will be joining the game as a new hero. This marks the first substantial update for the game since Hogger's release in 2020.
Xal atath, who started as a background voice in Shadow Priest players' weapon slots, has recently become the villainous figure in the current Midnight expansion. The new hero will first appear on the game's public test realm (PTR) on Monday, with a full release scheduled for September 28.
