Hearthstone

A tiny change in patch 8.1 may have escaped people's notice: the removal of many city portals from the Shrines in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

Apparently the folks at PC Gamer may have gotten a little ahead of themselves with the BlizzCon Hearthstone reveals, according to the folks at Wowhead.

The Hearthstone team never stops working, and while they haven't announced the next expansion, they have shared some interesting updates that are coming to the game soon.

Hearthstone Production Director Yong Woo has left Blizzard to join Second Dinner, the new studio helmed by former Hearthstone Game Director Ben Brode.

The Blizzard Arena isn't just for Overwatch League: Hearthstone took over recently for the HCT Summer Championships, wrapping up by crowning a brand new champion.  In the end, European player Bunnyhoppor emerged victorious from a field of 16 players.

I have returned from the future and learned which cards from the next Hearthstone expansion will be amazing and which cards will be awful.

Earlier today, the Hearthstone esports team announced a new competition pitting certain European countries against each other.

No.

Update: These changes are now live on desktop (and should be live on mobile soon), so go forth and dust your nerfed cards and craft yourself some replacements.

The 2017 Hearthstone World Championship will be taking place this upcoming weekend.
