Blizzard opens the Heroes of the Storm public test realm to Xal'atath, the World of Warcraft: Midnight antagonist, on September 14, 2026, ahead of a full Nexus launch on September 28. The Ranged Assassin is Heroes of the Storm's first new playable hero since Hogger in 2020, and Blizzard is framing it as a test for future content.

Bandai Namco has used the Gekishin Squadra first-anniversary SQUADRA Talk livestream to announce Super Gogeta for Season 7 on September 9 and a radical Year-End Overhaul that shifts the game from its top-down MOBA roots to a third-person, over-the-shoulder action format.
