Although Blizzard aimed to increase the release rate of heroes, there has been little indication of this so far. However, a Facebook post from the official Heroes of The Storm account now strengthens the evidence that Kael’Thas will soon be playable as a new hero.
More than just a rumor
Update on May 5, 9:45 PM: It was just confirmed by Blizzard on Twitter: Kael’Thas is the next hero in HotS.

Original report: Two weeks ago we reported that Kael’Thas might be the next hero in Heroes of the Storm and the blood elf with a daring past – keyword: traitor – would be the 20th Warcraft hero in the Blizzard MOBA, following Sylvanas, Thrall, and Jaina.
Why are we reporting on this again now? The official Heroes of the Storm account from Blizzard posted a picture on Facebook with the quote: “No one can stop me now! Selama ashal’anore!”
Some of you WoW players might find this sentence familiar, as Kael’Thas says it in the Fortress of the Storms. We are curious when Blizzard will finally make it official and announce him as the next hero. If the rumor about Kael’Thas is true, why not also consider the speculations about a new Diablo-style battleground?
The free-to-play MOBA from Blizzard will be released on June 2, 2015. You can view our Closed Beta test here: Heroes of the Storm: Blizzard’s clearance sale or an all-star team?
