Hearthstone Is Dropping Battlegrounds Season 9 Soon with Major Changes!

Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 9: Cosmic Overhaul Arrives December 3rd!

Get ready for a celestial shake-up! Hearthstone's Battlegrounds mode is launching Season 9 on December 3rd, bringing a universe of changes, updates, and exciting new features. Prepare for a revamped minion lineup, cosmic themes, and cutting-edge tech – it's a complete Tavern transformation!

Key Changes:

Bob's Technotavern is getting a major upgrade. Season 9 resets ratings and retires Trinkets, replacing them with Battlegrounds Tokens. These tokens let you reroll a hero choice at the selection screen, offering a second chance at a better hero if your initial options aren't ideal.

Reveal Schedule:

Before the full launch, Hearthstone is unveiling new content in stages:

  • 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 release.

More New Additions:

Season 9 introduces three new heroes, with Farseer Nobundo already generating significant buzz with his Galaxy's Lens ability. Nearly 90 minions and Tavern spells are either joining or leaving the pools, significantly altering gameplay strategies.

Solo Battlegrounds damage will be capped at 5 early game, increasing to 10 by turn 4 and 15 by turn 8. This cap is lifted once you reach the top 4.

Minion Release Schedule:

  • December 3rd: Beasts, Dragons, Quilboar, Pirates, Naga, and Mechs enter the fray.
  • December 5th: Murlocs and Demons join the minion pool.
  • December 9th: Undead and Elementals arrive.
