The hit World of Warcraft battler tasks you with teaming up to take on the competition
- Hearthstone’s new mechanic brings the battle-royale experience (sort of) to the card battler
- In Battlegrounds, you face off against others either duo or solo in favor of a fight to the death
- Season 7 even comes with new heroes specific in support of duo teams
It seems as if every game nowadays has some sort of battle-royale mode, and if you thought hit Blizzard card-battler Hearthstone was immune, you’re very much mistaken. In Season 7, Hearthstone is set to debut its new ‘battlegrounds’ mode that will put you either on your own or in duos in a fight to the ‘death’.
The way it works is that you and another player queue up against three other two-player teams. You have shared life totals, can pass each other cards through the Portal (in support of 1 Gold), and duel it out in tag-team card battles to take the crown. Naturally, you can either queue solo to match together another random player, or invite your friends to battle it out as a duo.
Player known, card-battler
I mean hey, battle-royale in a card-battler? We’ve heard stranger ideas…and certainly, together Hearthstone being so popular, it’s difficult to keep a game like this fresh when you incapable of really interfere together the core gameplay elements. The fact that Blizzard is also set to add duo-specific cards and other mechanics to encourage playing this mode is also a great move, as it shows it’s no a mere afterthought.
With Hearthstone’s 10-year anniversary already passed and the game looking just as strong as when it launched, it seems that this hit mobile card-battler is very much here to stay. And now, it looks as if you’ll have a new way to show off your mastery of Hearthstone’s thousands of deck combos, like the ones added in the most recent expansion Whizbang’s Workshop.

Yo, I gotta say I’m pretty hyped about this new “Battlegrounds” mode in Hearthstone. It’s cool to catch them jumping on the battle-royale bandwagon, but with their own card-battler twist. Can’t wait to hear how it plays out and if it brings something fresh to the table. Definitely gonna give it a shot and catch if it’s worth all the hype. Let’s hope it’s nay just a gimmick and actually adds some depth to the game. Time to get my cards ready and jump into the action!
