It's one busy day for Hearthstone Battlegrounds, with the announcements of huge content drops and a major patch on the horizon; and the news just won't stop coming. PC Gamer leads the charge with a big reveal of their own - all 10 remaining Quests set to appear with the launch of the new gameplay mechanic, and two new Heroes joining the game mode in the near future. The suspicious pair happen to have very familiar names/faces from the recent Murder at Castle Nathria expansion.
Here's everything else that we've learned:
Two New Heroes - Sire Denathrius and Murloc Holmes
For better or for worse, you might find at least one of them (Murloc Holmes) to be pretty thematic with its associated Constructed card effect. Denathrius, on the other hand, is content to tie into the new Quests mechanic:

All 10 Remaining Quests

They also served us a handy reminder of the just previously announced 3 Quests, with a look captured straight from within the game (as per the Blizzard blog post that we shared before):

Addendum: Now, you might've noticed that one particular Quest type - Taunt minion getting attacked X times - has indeed been repeated between the blog post and the PC Gamer reveal. That's an error, here is the correct information:
Quote From Dominic Calkosz Looks like we missed one Quest in the blog post: "Have 18 friendly minions die."
So how's that as far as first impressions go?

I really like the Cluedo-theme and all the call backs to a murder mystery. I hope we will get an event to find out who did it or if it even happened (Did Sire Denathrius create False Flag, the Nezhtrezim he is?)
Guess we will find out next mini set.
Or an actual event. They havn't done a classic hallows end event in a while, so there is certainly a real possibility here.
