is hexblade still not available for dnd beyond?
wasn't it to supposed to be released with unearthed arcana?
will we ever get the new hexblade?
No finalized 5.5e version of the Hexblade has been published (yet).
Two different playtest versions have been released via Unearthed Arcana already: one in the "Horror Subclasses" UA from May 2025 and one in the "Arcane Subclasses" UA from June 2025.
If you meant "Arcana Unleashed", that hasn't been released yet (it's due in a couple months) but based on this post it does not include a Hexblade subclass. There was never any official word that it would.
("Unearthed Arcana" is the program whereby they put out pre-release playtest versions of stuff to get feedback from the community. "Arcana Unleashed" is a new sourcebook coming out in September 2026. These names are going to cause a lot of confusion.)
pronouns: he/she/they
Yeah all i think you are getting for warlocks in the new book is the Vestige Warlock, it seems fairly powerful i just do not like subclasses that are built around a single feature as much as it was. Not sure if they eased up on it after the playtest, but everything was tied up in the pet you summoned. I had a similar issue with the elemental one they recently came out with, it was all tied up around the elemental nodes.
And imo the vestiges pet should have got some pact of the chain style invocations. also you should be able to pick any cleric domain, not just one from a small list. But war looks pretty bad ass for a pact of the blade warlock.
which means this might work out fairly well for someone who wanted the gish mechanics of hexblade.
