Attention Hearthstone players! Season 3 of Battlegrounds is all set to start on January 17. Once it goes live, Professor Putricide is going to be at the helm and replacing Battlegrounds Quests with his new creations. The Professor is also showcasing a new Hero Power, which is Build an Undead where he allows players to craft a maximum of three Undead throughout the game.
Regarding the new creations of the Profession, 32 new minions are set to make their presence felt in Battlegrounds when the new season arrives. Of the new minions, 16 are Undead which revolve around death effects like Reborn and Deathrattle. Meanwhile, 11 are dual-type which have synergies with two different minion types at the same time.
Battlegrounds Track Refresh
When the new season starts, players are going to switch over and begin earning rewards on the Season 3 Battlegrounds Track. In this new season, The Battle for Silvermoon spills into Battlegrounds. That means the track comes with new Scourge-themed and new Silvermoon-themed cosmetics.
Those who get the Season Pass immediately obtain +2 Hero options at the start of each game while also unlocking all stages of the new Silvermoon Legendary Strike. There's also as many as 15 additional Hero Skins to be earned.
You can view the complete list of rewards here.
