4.1.26 Patch Notes
Blizzard News • • technology
Key Points:
- Blizzard Entertainment released a humorous Hearthstone patch featuring playful updates such as restoring the Sorry emote for one day and renaming Herald to Harold based on player feedback.
- Several card changes include Boulderfist Ogre becoming a Colossal minion and Timethief Rafaam receiving a purely visual redesign to Baaaafam; Mister Clocksworth's battlecry text was humorously extended.
- A new challenging Arena mode called Under-Underground Arena was introduced, requiring players to retire a run at 11 wins to unlock it, with unique gameplay mechanics like shortened turn timers and upside-down cards.
- The Under-Underground Arena demands a 24-game win streak to succeed, with any loss ending the run and revoking access, and offers a new Ways Ulfar Hero Skin as a reward.
- Various bug fixes and improvements were made, including disabling Chromatus temporarily, fixing Misplaced Pyromancer interactions, and addressing issues with Rewind and Mech cards to improve game stability.
