Developer Blizzard Entertainment took to the official site of CCG Hearthstone to announce Battlegrounds Season 7. This new chapter of the game begins on Aprril 16, bringing along updates for Traditional Battlegrounds and a magical new Mode, Battlegrounds Duos!
With Season 7, Battlegrounds Ratings will reset and Battlegrounds Quests will rotate out of the Tavern. Tavern Spells will stay in the Tavern for both traditional Battlegrounds and Battlegrounds Duos as a regular part of Battlegrounds going forward.
The most important update comes in the form of Duos! Grab a friend or make a new one: you and a partner queue together in a game against three other teams of two players. Teams have shared life totals, pass each other cards through the Portal (for 1 Gold), and fight in tag-team combat to take the crown!
Hearthstone – Other Battlegrounds Season 7 Updates include:
- New Heroes and Minions: With the launch of Duos comes new Duos-specific Heroes and cards that take advantage of the mode’s new gameplay: 4 heroes, 16 minions, and 3 tavern spells. These will only be available in Battlegrounds Duos, not the regular Battlegrounds mode.
- Once Upon a Tavern: Season 7 includes a massive minion update for both Duos and solo Battlegrounds, including 50 new minions, over a dozen returning minions, and a couple new Tavern Spells. There are also big changes including a rework to Beasts, refreshes to Dragons and Mechs, and balance adjustments to tons of minions and heroes.
- Battlegrounds Reward Track Refresh. The Season 7 Battlegrounds Tracks keep things fresh with storied fairy tale themed cosmetics. Progress through the Season Pass track to earn the Endless Fables Legendary Strike, 18 additional Hero Skins, a new Bartender, and more!
