The next Hearthstone updates bring content for every game mode and new in-game features. Check the 24.0 patch note with Esports.gg
Hearthstone 24.0 patch arrives on Tuesday 26 in preparation for the Murder at Castle Natrhia expansion. While the highlights might be focusing on the constructed game mode, this update brings news for everyone! Let’s go over the 24.0 Hearthstone patch notes and unravel its secrets!
Hearthstone updates with Patch 24.0
Murder at Castle Natrhia patch, on top of the brand new 135 cards and mechanics, will bring a plethora of updates for other game modes. Battlegrounds, Mercenaries, Duels and Arena will see new content and changes. Furthermore, Hearthstone is releasing a new set of game features and fixes.
What’s new in Battlegrounds?
The 24.0 Hearthstone patch comes with new content for Battlegrounds. While this is not a major update, we do have interesting things to highlight. The first of them is the brand new set of emotes!
Until now, Battlegrounds emotes were only available for players with Perks. However, the 24.0 Hearthstone patch notes state that they will become free for all once the update hits.
The new special Mystery Mayhem Battlegrounds Emotes will introduce Murder at Castle Natrhia themed reactions to Battlegrounds. The set will be available on August 9th but bear in mind that this set of emotes won’t be free.
Regarding gameplay content, the 24.0 Hearthstone patch notes reveal that we will be getting the new Heistbaron Togwaggle Hero to commit “The Perfect Crime”. The new hero power might be game-breaking. Imagine buying an entire tavern at the cost of 3 minions, or even less!

Moreover, there are some dragon redesigns coming with the Hearthstone 24.0 patch. The underwhelming Red Whelp will see an attack buff, while the problematic Evolving Chromawing will return to the tavern.

Hearthstone Mercenaries 24.0 patch notes
Hearthstone's latest game mode will see new Mercenaries coming to the Village and a special event to celebrate. Old Gods have awakened and C’Thun will begin an assault on the village on August 16th. Prepare yourself to overcome 10 special Tasks centered around the Old God C’Thun to unlock the new C’Thun mercenary, with portraits and coins for upgrades. Rally your Dragons and protectors, they will be key in this battle!
Sir Finley will also be joining the Mercenaries ranks, according to Hearthstone 24.0 patch notes. The Murloc character will be available for free in the rewards track.
