Blizzard's Hearthstone Unveils Overhaul with Season 9 of Battlegrounds

Hearthstone's Battlegrounds Season 9: A Cosmic Overhaul

Get ready for a celestial upgrade! Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 9 launches December 3rd, bringing a universe of changes. Prepare for a revamped Tavern, cosmic themes, cutting-edge tech, and a completely overhauled minion lineup.

Key Changes:

• Bob's Technotavern Gets an Upgrade: Expect a rating reset and the retirement of Trinkets. In their place? Battlegrounds Tokens! These allow you to reroll a hero option at the selection screen, offering a lifeline if your initial choices are underwhelming.

• Staggered Minion and Hero Reveals: The reveal schedule is as follows:

  • November 20th: Naga and Dragon reveals.
  • November 21st: Quilboar and Beast reveals.
  • November 22nd: Pirate and Duos-only reveals.
  • November 25th: Murloc and Demon reveals.
  • November 26th: Elemental and Undead reveals.
  • December 2nd: Preview event streams and 31.2 patch notes.

• New Heroes and Minions: Three brand-new heroes join the fray, with Farseer Nobundo already generating considerable buzz. Nearly 90 minions and Tavern spells are either entering or leaving the pool, drastically altering gameplay.

• Damage Cap Adjustment (Solo): Solo Battlegrounds games will see a modified damage cap: 5 damage early game, increasing to 10 on turn 4 and 15 on turn 8. This cap is removed once you reach the top 4.

• Phased Minion Release: The minion rollout is as follows:

  • December 3rd: Beasts, Dragons, Quilboar, Pirates, Naga, and Mechs.
  • December 5th: Murlocs and Demons.
  • December 9th: Undead and Elementals.
