They’ll be busy with orphea, then stitches and sylvanas rework.
Quite disappointing, as I’ve been waiting for a few chars for a long time

From what I have heard, there is one more coming out before the end of the year.

Orphea is the November hero. We still have December who for some reason wasn’t announced at Blizzcon
You must be new here.
They release another hero in December. Kaoe also mentioned why they won’t announce two heroes in Blizzcon going forward. People usually focus on the first hero released and by the time the second hero is released, it has completely lost its appeal.
They want hero releases to feel special.

Im, assuming that as Orphea releases next week, the reworks will be 3 weeks after that, so around december 5th and hopfully another hero will com for the winter’s veil event ( or around xmas )
That’s a little disappointing. I always love seeing the two heroes in a cinematic. Here’s hoping for stuff like Hanamura Showdown at least.

One fairie dragon can dream.
It is. They should do a double hero release like anub and azmo.
But I don’t think they will. They’ve been saying they want content and heroes to feel special. Which is why they this year their schedule changed completely. Usually a hero release, then three weeks later a major event with new rework and skins.
Who knows, maybe they’ll go back to it
Relax, there’s like 50 days before the end of the year I’m sure there’s one more hero after her.

To be fair, there have been far more sequential heroes this year than there have been heroes pinned between reworks.
Blaze, Maiev, (Sonya and Medivh), Fenix, Deckard, (Diablo and Lunara), Yrel, (Raynor and Azmodan), Whitemane, Mephisto, (Kerrigan and Brightwing), Mal’Ganis, Orphea, (Stitches and Sylvanas), potential December hero.

I think we will get an ice skill hero (like mei) around christmas. I hope we will get one another hero too or at least about the 2. one a video what apper around very close to jan 1.
it’s hard to say… traditionally we would still see another hero this year but blizz slowed down releases earlier this year so it’s hard to say. if we don’t get another release this year I would say that we will at least get the tease/announcement around Christmas.
we will never get an actual answer on something like this from blizzard because a simple yes or no is forbidden for some reason. not sure what is wrong with them saying yes there will be 1 more release or sorry nothing until next year. they guard information more closely than area 51 though so it’s hard to tell.
Sadly for him, that is only one.

This is quite a tricky one. Usually, Blizzon would be the place where they announce a lot of the upcoming heroes (at least enough to cover the rest of the year). The following are heroes that were announced at Blizzcon over the years:
2014: Jaina, Thrall
2015: Cho’gall, Lunara, Greymane
2016: Varian, Ragnaros
2017: Alexstraza, Hanzo
With that said, it’s kinda weird that this year, we only get Orphea, which will be released soon (I believe it would be on the 13rd this month). That leaves us with December with no hero scheduled. This is very unlikely, since this this the busiest shopping season. And no way is Blizz gonna pass this up. Consider that OW is the only franchise that didn’t get any hero released this year, this would possibly be the one. Just don’t be too sure about it.
In short, high chance is that we are gonna get a surprise release this December. But be prepared for the unexpected.
Just be glad that they moved Orphea’s release date up by about 3 weeks (to line up with Blizzcon) or he would be right and she would be the last hero of the year.
Orphea is cute.
