The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Blizzard's[2] own BlizzCon recap puts the character in 2027 - 'we reveal a clue about where 2027 is headed with a Hero 55 tease' - while IGN and Game Rant[3] read the tease as a hero, or a fuller reveal, 'later this year'. Blizzard is followed here and the pin dated to the last day of 2027 as an estimate; no release window has been announced.
Blizzard's own official news post covering its BlizzCon reveals, including Hero 55 and the Doctrine hero (Season 5, October 6), backs the pin's account and its estimated late-2026 date, though the page itself could not be fetched to quote directly.
Game Rant confirms Hero 55 is "the final hero scheduled to arrive in 2026" per its BlizzCon 2026 reveal, but gives no exact date - consistent with the pin's estimated year-end 2026 placeholder date.
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
