The next expansion of Hearthstone, Paradise in Peril, arrives in-game on July 23. But update 29.6, available since June 17, brings some changes. Enough to prepare the ground with the arrival of Sailor the manager
and new faces in Unexpected mode. But that’s not all, as Genn and Baku make their return to the core set of Hearthstone.
A summer full of surprises
Update 29.6 is obviously marked by the arrival of the first marks of Paradise in Peril. Pre-ordering the packs is therefore already available in the store. But above all, players receive the promotional legendary card Sailor the manager when they first connect. At the same time, Battlegrounds sees the companions return to the tavern.
From June 25 to July 16, the Midsummer Festival is in full swing in-game. A special reward path will be set up with event quests. Completing it allows you to obtain up to 6 packs of Mystifix’s Workshop and the Primus V-07-TR-0N hero model for the thief class.
The most important event still remains the return of Baku and Genn to Hearthstone. These two cards, considered far too strong, had been sent in Free mode earlier than expected. They are now making their return to the fundamental set until July 23. We can therefore expect them to wreak real havoc until the expansion is released. But this is also what is expected, since the objective is simply to allow players to have fun.
Always more heroes
Alongside these modifications and events, Unexpected mode sees the arrival of 9 new heroes. No Baku or Genn here, but it’s time to party and relax on Hearthstone. As long as you have the card, you will be able to see the complete deck of each hero in advance.
