Does The Ringmaster have a release date?
At this time, there’s only a release window for this hero, and it’s a loose one at that. At the end of the trailer a brief message gives players a time in which they can expect him to be released:
“No hero is safe: 2024.”
Granted, 2024 is a very loose timeframe, and it’s not yet clear whether that’ll be in the first or second half of the year. Considering we didn’t get any actual gameplay for this hero, it’s safe to assume he’s a ways out.

At this point, we only know what we can wean from The Ringmaster’s reveal. It’s a safe assumption that he’ll be designed around some level of deception or deceit, a character that’s meant to trick and trap players in some way, shape, or form.
It isn’t yet clear, however, if his traps can be placed and operate independently, or if they’re just straightforward abilities that he can use in combat. While his identity is very distinct and players like him already, we truthfully don’t know much about what he’ll be capable of when he finally releases.
