Xal'atath Arrives on Heroes of the Storm PTR Today

Heroes of the Storm receives one of the more unexpected consequences of BlizzCon today as Xal'atath becomes playable on the Public Test Realm. Blizzard announced that the prominent World of Warcraft character will officially join Heroes of the Storm on September 28, but PTR testing begins September 14. The reveal is notable because Heroes has spent years outside Blizzard's main development spotlight, making a new hero announcement considerably more significant than a normal balance update. Blizzard also teased that Xal'atath may not necessarily be the end of renewed hero development. For the moment, however, today's PTR release is the concrete milestone: players can begin testing her before the full live launch later this month.
