Blackthorne

Blackthorne is a proposed hero hero from the Blackthorne franchise.

Blackthorne was listed as a hero character in 2013. As of December 2014, concepts for him exist. At BlizzCon 2017, Blackthorne's inclusion was again considered, but no date could be given.

In September 2020 Lead Game Designe Brett Crawford said: ''Oh my, how did I not expect this to be asked…who would have guessed that so many people are in love with Kyle Blackthorne! His name is brought up to me almost every day – at this point it has become a meme around the (virtual) office. While I would be super excited to see him enter the Nexus, I am holding strong picket-lines for a few other crowd-favorites first.''
