The Year of the Raptor has arrived in Hearthstone, bringing a revitalized competitive scene and a fresh expansion cycle starting with Into the Emerald Dream, launching soon with a special pre-release event. A new Year of the Raptor game board boasts updated visuals and audio.
This year's Core Set update features returning favorites, crucial balance adjustments, and exciting new additions. To improve gameplay, some cards with overly aggressive burst damage and frustrating effects have been removed. Further details on the updated Core Set will be revealed soon.
Hearthstone Esports returns in 2025 with a robust competitive calendar: two Seasonal Championships and a World Championship, boasting a minimum $600,000 prize pool in partnership with Netease Thunderfire. This initiative aims to expand the competitive Hearthstone community. Full format and ruleset details will be shared shortly.

Following Into the Emerald Dream, Patch 32.2 introduces a major Arena update designed to enhance the drafting experience and provide a fresh perspective on the Arena mode. This patch also includes a Battlegrounds Seasonal Update, and the Into the Emerald Dream Mini-Set will arrive a patch earlier than usual.
This adjusted patch schedule is a strategic shift to optimize development and content release cycles. The Into the Emerald Dream expansion will maintain its standard structure, including all planned updates and events. The regular patch schedule will resume with Patch 33.0 after Patch 32.4.
