Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 3 begins on 18 January AEDT! While the Lich King marches through Silvermoon, Season 3 adds more to the Battlegrounds mode: a new minion type and dual minion types, the return of a warped hero, plus Silvermoon and Scourge themed cosmetics.

NEW UNDEAD AND DUAL-TYPE MINIONS

• The Undead have made their way into Bob’s Tavern! The new Undead minion type harmonises well with Reborn and Deathrattle effects. Additionally, several minions are receiving the Undead tag in addition to another designated type, making way for dual-type minions! This provides more depth and options for building warbands.

THE BATTLE FOR SILVERMOON

• The battle wages on in Silvermoon, where the Blood Elves defend their home from the Lich King’s Scourge. The Season Pass for Season 3 will bring some thematic flair with all-new boards and emotes—and you can equip your heroes with all new cosmetics to dress for Silvermoon or the Scourge! The heroes of Silvermoon exhibit their power of fire against the icy forces of the Lich King, while the chilly visages of the Scourge heroes are sleek with icy armour to instil fear in their opponents.

PROFESSOR PUTRICIDE RETURNS

• Professor Putricide spends his days and nights toiling away in his lab, working to piece together new minions. In Season 3, players will feel the excitement of creation with his hero power! For four gold, craft a custom Undead minion of your own, providing the power you want, right when you need it the most. These custom-crafted minions won’t triple, but they’ll pack a mighty twisted punch!

LUNAR NEW YEAR EVENT

• The Sunwell shines bright! Starting 18 January AEDT, complete quests during the Lunar New Year event to collect event XP, earn shimmering rewards, and keep the lanterns of Sunwell lit.
