Year of the Wolf Core Set Update!
It’s almost that time again when the big Hearthstone clock in the sky counts down to a new Hearthstone year: the Year of the Wolf!
Before we sink our teeth into the Year of the Wolf, let's take a look back at the Year of the Hydra. The Year of the Hydra has been an amazing year for Hearthstone! We swam with giants in Voyage to the Sunken City, playing over 325 million Colossal minions to make big waves. We solved a murder-mystery (of sorts) in Murder at Castle Nathria, playing over 973 million Locations in our quest for clues. And finally, we faced the cold beyond in March of the Lich King, where we were introduced to the new Death Knight class and its Undead army. Since that fateful meeting, we’ve played over 4.4 billion Undead minions across all modes. We’re excited to keep that momentum rocking and rolling with our next expansion, Festival of Legends, to kick off Phase 1 of the Year of the Wolf.
Throughout the Year of the Wolf, we’ll be focusing our efforts on making Hearthstone and Battlegrounds the best they can be, with more new cards and more Battlegrounds updates than ever before! We even have a few surprises planned for later in the year, including a Wild-focused update and a fun new way to play with older cards. But first, let’s take a look at this year’s Core Set.
Soon, Standard will be saying goodbye to the expansions from the Year of the Gryphon: Forged in the Barrens, United in Stormwind, and Fractured in Alterac Valley. After the rotation, Standard will consist of Voyage to the Sunken City, Murder at Castle Nathria, March of the Lich King, Festival of Legends, and the updated Core Set. This year, we have a big shakeup for the Core Set, with over 70 cards being swapped out for new ones!
