After quite a few reports and rumors in recent weeks, Blizzard officially confirms that the next character coming to its Heroes of the Storm multiplayer online battle arena experience is Kael'Thas, the infamous villain from the Warcraft universe.

Heroes of the Storm launched last year as a closed technical alpha and got its closed beta at the beginning of this year. Since then, Blizzard has kept on releasing new content, such as fresh heroes, but also new battlegrounds and other such features.

Not long ago the studio mentioned that Heroes of the Storm would get its open beta on May 19, and then its full debut on June 2 for all fans around the world.

Now, Blizzard confirms on the official Twitter that the next character coming to Heroes of the Storm is Kael'Thas, the infamous bad guy from its Warcraft universe.

The mythical character didn't get any other details, but considering Blizzard will talk about him on May 12, it's quite possible that he'll join the game's roster on May 19, right alongside the open-beta release.

Until then, check out the render of Kael'Thas in Heroes of the Storm above and get ready for his debut in the very near future for the multiplayer brawler.
