Battlegrounds Season 9 Set to Arrive in Hearthstone with Major Revamp

Hearthstone's Battlegrounds Season 9 blasts off on December 3rd, bringing a cosmic overhaul to the Tavern! This new season features a completely revamped minion lineup, flashy new technology, and a significant shakeup of the meta. Get ready for a fresh Battlegrounds experience!

Key Changes and New Features:

Bob's Technotavern is getting a major upgrade. Season 9 resets ratings and eliminates Trinkets, replacing them with exciting new Battlegrounds Tokens. These tokens allow players to re-roll a hero choice at the selection screen, offering a second chance at a more favorable hero.

The reveal schedule for new minions is as follows: Naga and Dragon reveals are today, Quilboar and Beast reveals on November 21st, Pirate and Duos-only reveals on November 22nd, Murloc and Demon reveals on November 25th, Elemental and Undead reveals on November 26th. Preview event streams and patch notes (31.2) drop December 2nd.

More Exciting News:

Three new heroes join the fray, with Farseer Nobundo already generating buzz. Nearly 90 minions and Tavern spells are entering or leaving the pool, dramatically altering gameplay. A new damage cap is implemented in solo Battlegrounds, starting at 5 damage and increasing to 10 on turn 4 and 15 on turn 8. This cap is removed once you reach the top 4.

The full patch launches December 3rd, introducing Beasts, Dragons, Quilboar, Pirates, Naga, and Mechs. Murlocs and Demons arrive December 5th, followed by Undead and Elementals on December 9th.
