Blizzard Entertainment • • technology
Key Points:
- Hearthstone is replacing mini-sets with Class Sets starting in Patch 35.4, focusing on releasing larger, more impactful card sets for fewer classes at a time to create stronger class identities and more noticeable meta shifts.
- The first Class Sets, called Restoration of Azeroth, feature four classes: Druid, Hunter, Paladin, and Mage, each receiving seven new cards designed to enhance class fantasy and support new archetypes.
- Class Sets will be available for purchase individually or in bundles using Runestones, Gold, or real money, with options including standard and Golden versions, and cards can also be obtained through CATACLYSM packs or crafting.
- The Restoration of Azeroth Class Sets launch on May 5 with Patch 35.4, and three waves of Class Sets are planned throughout the year, covering all 11 Hearthstone classes plus one class receiving two sets.
- Card reveals for the Class Sets are scheduled from April 27 to May 1 on Hearthstone’s official channels, highlighting the developer’s commitment to innovation and community engagement in 2024.
