Xal'atath joins Heroes of the Storm on September 28 after PTR preview

Blizzard has set the new hero's live arrival for September 28 following her September 14 public test realm debut.

Xal'atath is due to enter the live Heroes of the Storm roster on September 28 . Blizzard announced that date at BlizzCon and put her on the public test realm on September 14. The PTR patch notes are the useful place to study her current kit before launch. Players looking ahead should treat those test-realm numbers as

provisional: Blizzard can adjust abilities before the live patch. The September 28 date is a launch target, not evidence that she is already available on production servers. If you want to prepare a build or team composition, check the final live notes when the update ships. This is a separate hero milestone from the

broader BlizzCon announcement. The immediate reader decision is whether to try the PTR now or wait for the live client on Monday. Headline image: official Heroes of the Storm artwork from Blizzard Entertainment.
