In the post, Lyons-Smith stated that the Hearthstone team is committed to the game's longevity. He also acknowledged that moving forward, the team will improve in terms of communication. After sharing that Hearthstone's strategy is based around the words "fun, focus, and fearless" and providing examples of this, Lyons-Smith addressed the lack of a Perils in Paradise board.
"When we decided not to make a board for Perils in Paradise, we should have let you know earlier," he said. "Moving forward, we will ensure that you get early visibility on changes like this and give you more information on what we’re working on instead."

Lyons-Smith continued, noting that his team plans to release one new Hearthstone board per year. His team also has some ambitious ideas that would require a lot of effort.
"Pulling back from three static game boards per year to one allows us to begin work on the coolest possible dynamic stuff — like a system to choose your favorite boards, and pets," he explained. "We’ve also heard so much positive feedback about C’Thun and so are working on some truly groundbreaking new hero skins."
As of now, it's too soon to reveal details. However, the team "will fast-track putting all existing Hearthstone boards into the Standard format board rotation."
