New Hero Release Date
Although the specific release date was not revealed, some educated speculation can give us hints.
Ramattra is being released this season, and season three has been reported as having no new heroes.
We can expect this new hero to be released in season 4, hopefully on the release date of that.
So, April 2023 looks like the time that the next hero will be added to the packed roster.
Of course, this has not yet been confirmed by Blizzard Entertainment, so take this all with a pinch of salt.
