Heroes of the Storm gets first new hero after supposed death and 6 year wait
It's rare that a MOBA comes out, rarer that it manages to stick around, and perhaps rarest of all that it surges back to life after years on the backburner. While Heroes of the Storm never quite had its lights turned off, the constant downpour of new stuff you'd expect in a live service game did wind down. Until now.
At today's Blizzcon opening ceremony, it was announced that Xal'atath, the Harbinger of the Void, will be arriving in the long-dormant MOBA as a new hero—its first since Hogger was released all the way back in 2020. It's the first truly substantial update since 2022, as the game has only received light-touch balance passes and bug fixes since Blizzard announced a shift to maintenance mode. milkshake.it.com
If you're unfamiliar, Xal'atath is a character from World of Warcraft's Legion expansion who started as a gnawing voice tucked away in the weapon slots of Shadow Priest players. More recently, she's become the villainous face of the current Midnight expansion.
It was also announced that another new hero would be revealed at some point in the future.
Xal'atath will arrive on the game's PTR this Monday, with a full release scheduled for Sep. 28. Follow the rest of today's Blizzcon news on our liveblog.

England survive sluggish start to overwhelm Australia in second half
WXV: England 48-15 Australia
May Campbell kickstarts flurry of seven tries
England had to execute something they have not had to do in John Mitchell’s reign against Australia, a comeback win after being down at half-time. It was the first time in almost six years the Red Roses had been trailing after the first 40. But whatever was said in the changing room shook the team to life as they scored 43 second-half points to keep their winning streak going.
Australia gave England quite the scare in the first half. The Wallaroos were not just clinical when in attack, but were thorough and physical in defence to disrupt England’s front-foot ball. The visitors played some of their best rugby since last year’s World Cup, when they were knocked out in the quarter-finals, before falling apart in the second half. England were uncharacteristically poor at times with several knock-ons and other handling errors hampering their attack.

⚽️ Premier League updates from the 5.30pm BST kick-off
⚽️ Live scores | Tables | Top scorers | And email James
David Moyes is talking to Sky Sports with about fifteen minutes to go until kick off. I’ll post a quote or two in a second – in the meantime get your noodle around these pre-match stats:
Tottenham have only lost one of their last 17 Premier League home games against Everton (W12 D4).
Everton lost both Premier League meetings with Tottenham last season by an aggregate score of 4-0, but have never lost three in a row to Spurs without scoring in their league history.
Everton are winless in their last six away league games, alternating between defeat (3) and a draw (3) each time.
Only Brighton (34) and Crystal Palace (32) have forced more high turnovers than Everton (28) in the Premier League this season, with the Toffees’ seven shots following a high turnover the joint-most so far.
Tottenham’s next home loss will be their 50th at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the competition.

Schon nach wenigen Minuten setzte Adam Hložek ein erstes Ausrufezeichen, als er nach Zuspiel von Adam Daghim knapp links vorbeischoss (4.). Auf der Gegenseite scheiterte Ermedin Demirović per Kopf am herausstürzenden Oliver Baumann (8.). In der 13. Minute schlug die TSG dann zu: Bambasé Conté eroberte den Ball im eigenen Drittel, marschierte über den gesamten Platz und legte für Hložek auf, der cool blieb und Fabian Bredlow ins lange Eck bezwang – 1:0.
