Patch 27.6, launching today, is a huge patch that introduces Hearthstone’s next expansion, Showdown in the Badlands, brings Un'Goro to Twist, makes Battlegrounds mid-season adjustments, and includes goodies for Blizzcon and Hallow’s End festivities!
Saddle up for Hearthstone’s next expansion, Showdown in the Badlands, coming November 14! In the Badlands, the Bloodrock Mining Company’s struck Gold—or, rather, something even better: Azerite! Now they’re conscripting the townfolk and bleeding the land dry, putting the entire Badlands at risk. A band of mysterious, noble outlaws has banded together to put a stop to it, but the greedy Sheriff Barrelbrim won’t give up that easy. It all leads to this, a massive Showdown in the Badlands!
Showdown in the Badlands has 145 all-new, rootin’ and tootin’ collectible cards! You can learn more in the Showdown in the Badlands Announcement Blog. Two pre-purchase options are available now so you can be quick on the draw once the expansion launches.
