Hearthstone's Battlegrounds Season 9: A Cosmic Overhaul Arriving December 3rd

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

Key Changes:

• Bob's Technotavern Gets an Upgrade: Prepare for 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 – perfect for escaping undesirable choices.

  • November 20th: Naga and Dragon reveals.
  • November 21st: Quilboar and Beast reveals.

  • November 26th: Elemental and Undead reveals.
  • December 2nd: Preview event streams and 31.2 patch notes.

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

• Solo Battlegrounds Damage Cap Adjustment: A new damage cap is introduced for solo games only: 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 pool update is staggered:

  • December 3rd: Beasts, Dragons, Quilboar, Pirates, Naga, and Mechs are added.
  • December 5th: Murlocs and Demons join the mix.
  • December 9th: Undead and Elementals arrive.
