Hearthstone just revealed some amazing plans for the Year of the Pegasus, including a refresh to the Core set and the Whizbang’s Workshop expansion. Though the first card set of this Hearthstone year releases on March 19, players can log in now and experience a part of the whimsy right away.
2024 is a big year for Hearthstone, as the collectible card game is entering its 10th year of live service. To celebrate, Hearthstone is entering the Year of the Pegasus – a fitting name, as Blizzard used “Project Pegasus” in early development – in a big way, with celebratory events and gifts, a Core set refresh, and three new expansions throughout the year.
Recently, Hearthstone revealed the first of these new expansions. Titled Whizbang’s Workshop, this 145-card set stars Whizbang, the master toymaker, in a set bursting with the whimsy Hearthstone is known for. The expansion features the new Miniaturize keyword, which adds a one-cost 1/1 copy of the minion when it is played, along with iconic characters, mechanics, and references to some of Hearthstone’s most iconic cards. Whizbang’s Workshop releases March 19, with a standard and Mega Bundle available for pre-purchase now.
A new Hearthstone year also means a new Core set. To celebrate the game’s 10-year anniversary, Hearthstone’s new Core set features the return of some classic cards, including Leeroy Jenkins, Fiery War Axe, and Justicar Trueheart. The Wrath of Air Totem, originally removed from the Shaman’s Hero Power a few years ago, is even returning to the rotation this year to truly capture the feeling of classic Hearthstone. Additionally, the Elusive keyword has been added to the game, though its ability to make minions unable to be targeted by spells or Hero Powers is something players will be familiar with from cards like Evasive Wyrm.
The new Core set will also include four brand-new cards inspired by Warcraft Rumble. Fans of the new Blizzard mobile game will recognize Gnomelia, S.A.F.E. Pilot, Warsong Grunt, Night Elf Huntress, and Footman, all of which have abilities inspired by their Warcraft Rumble Minis.
Right now, players can log into Hearthstone and get Colifero the Artist, a free Legendary who draws a minion and transforms one’s board into copies of it, as well as 12 free gift cards, including the Legendary Harth Stonebrew. Fans who pre-purchase Whizbang’s Workshop also receive the Corridor Sleeper Epic card for use right away. Hearthstone may have to face the reaper eventually, but it certainly won't be this year.
Hearthstone is a free-to-play digital trading card game from Blizzard and features many characters from the World of Warcraft universe.

Visiting Warhammer's flagship store-museum hybrid is on the wishlist for many fans, so it's not surprising that Warhammer World Anniversary celebrations - complete with reveals - are a thing. 2024's announcements weren't necessarily world-shattering, but they had a chaotic energy that I'm totally herefor.
I’ve played both Ori games. I survived the Water Tower in Blind Forest. So I knew that, even though developer Moon Studios was changing genres for its next game, No Rest for the Wicked, I shouldn’t expect to breeze through it. And sure enough, after playing the first 90 minutes of an early build, culminating in a punishing boss fight, I had to earn every new piece of gear, every bit of loot, and every inch of progress. No Rest for the Wicked is beautiful, it is challenging, and it is rewarding. You are not a walking death machine here, like in Diablo. Instead, your enemies are the walking death machines, and you’ll need to learn how to survive them. It’s more like Dark Souls in an isometric-view action-RPG form.
