Developer Blizzard Entertainment announced that Hearthstone is in for a new mode. Called Twist, it will be coming to the game in Patch 26.6 later this month and replacing the Classic mode.
The team describes Twist as a Hearthstone ladder Mode with regularly rotating seasons. The formats can include curated card pools and special rulesets that are sure to bring back some of your favorites. Beta is planned for June and July. After the Beta, it will be temporarily deactivated for a short time as developers iron it out.
“We already have some fun and nostalgic Twist formats planned for the rest of the year, but we also want to hear from you about Twist formats you’d like to see, or if you end up loving one so much you want to see us bring it back. Twist formats are planned to change regularly, but not necessarily with every season. Twist also might be deactivated from time to time we prepare for the next upcoming season. You can find Twist in the Hearthstone menu, where Classic used to be, and you always check the current Twist season’s rules and eligible card pools from the deck selection screen.”
Join your favorite content creators on June 22 and June 23 for a special preview of the beta! Competitors from around the world will be playing on a private version of the upcoming Twist ladder to test out some decks and see how far they can climb. Check out the official site for the full list.
