Hearthstone Howls into the Year of the Wolf with Core Set Update

Blizzard Entertainment has just unveiled the Year of the Wolf, introducing a brand new Core Set update that promises to shake up the game's foundation. The update aims to breathe fresh life into the game, providing an enjoyable experience for both new and seasoned players.

This Core Set update features a whopping 250 cards, with 76 returning from previous sets, 88 completely new cards, and 86 reimagined versions of existing cards. The result? A thrilling mix of familiar favorites and unexpected newcomers that'll keep you on your toes.

In the Year of the Wolf, the Core Set will be free for all players who have completed the game's tutorial, ensuring a more accessible experience for everyone. Moreover, the update introduces the Core Set Progression System, which allows players to unlock Core Set cards as they level up each class, offering a more engaging and rewarding gameplay experience.

Blizzard has also revealed exciting news for fans of the Classic format. The Classic Set, now known as the Legacy Set, will be added to the game's Wild format. This means players can still enjoy the original Hearthstone experience while participating in Wild matches. Additionally, the Legacy Set will be available for purchase in the in-game shop, making it easier than ever for players to build their collections.

The Year of the Wolf Core Set update also brings with it exciting changes to the game's Ranked Rewards. The monthly reset will now only apply to the highest achieved rank, rather than the current rank at the end of the month. This change offers a more accurate reflection of player skill, as well as encouraging experimentation with different decks and strategies.

But the excitement doesn't stop there. To celebrate the Year of the Wolf, Blizzard is hosting a limited-time event, the "Core Set Celebration," from March 29 to April 12. During this event, players can earn up to 15 Core Set card packs by completing a series of event quests. Additionally, the Hearthstone team will host an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit, giving players the opportunity to engage with the developers and ask their burning questions.

So, Hearthstone fans, are you ready to embrace the Year of the Wolf? With a revitalized Core Set, updated Ranked Rewards, and a plethora of exciting new cards, there's never been a better time to dive into the world of Hearthstone. The Year of the Wolf Core Set update is set to launch on March 29, so mark your calendars, and prepare to howl with excitement!
