Hearthstone Battlegrounds

Hearthstone patch 31.6 returned Anomalies to the Battlegrounds, and the Anomaly pool received a big shake-up.

It's not usual for us to get enormous minion roster shakeups and rule changes right in the middle of a Hearthstone Battlegrounds season, but that's exactly what we just got.

The current Hearthstone Battlegrounds metagame — that is, which minions and heroes people are picking to win at the moment — is fast and furious, since this season doesn't have any extra features (such as Quests, Trinkets, or Buddies) to work as catch-up mechanics.

Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 9 is now live! Hearthstone patch 31.2 launched with Season 9: Enter the Technotavern, and as expected, the new season also removed Trinkets from the game.

With the release of Season 9, Hearthstone Battlegrounds is adding three new heroes to the game: Farseer Nobundo with his spell-copying powers, Zerek, Master Cloner with the ability to create an exact copy of a friendly minion, and Exarch Othaar with his discounted spells.

We don't have an official release date for Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 10 yet, but based on the release dates for previous seasons, our educated guess is that Season 10 will start on April 2025.

Draenei are coming to Hearthstone Battlegrounds at some point, that's a given after they were added as a new minion type in The Great Dark Beyond.

Leapfrogger is back in the Hearthstone Battlegrounds!

Every new season of Hearthstone Battlegrounds brings us a ton of new hero skins, and the beach-themed season 8 is no exception -- but as much as we applaud the imagination, some of these skins are a little bit unbelievable.

Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 8, Trinkets & Travels, is almost upon us, bringing a brand-new mechanic called Trinkets.
