We've datamined a new card pack coming to Hearthstone in the future which has five different card sets associated with it.
As always, datamined information is subject to change and may never see the light of day.
Wild West 2
The "Wild West 2" card pack as it is currently called in the client, contains cards from the following sets:
- Voyage to the Sunken City
- March of the Lich King
- Return to Castle Nathria
- Festival of Legends
- TITANS
This is a catch-up pack for players coming back to play Hearthstone after an extended break. It will allow players to more easily obtain cards they are missing in all the sets that are currently legal in Standard, which takes a lot of the guesswork out of knowing which pack you need to buy. We don't know if this pack is going to be in the shop purchasable in any quantity, or if it will be obtained strictly from bundles.
This is very similar to the "Year of the Dragon Packs" that we saw many moons ago with the notable exception of the upcoming expansion missing.
New Pack Image
Here's a preview of what the new pack will look like. Do note that this is a raw image from the Hearthstone client and it is used on top of a 3d model which is why it looks "wrong". The extra bits normally wrap around the model.
In addition to the card pack, Blizzard has added all the set icons to a single image for the contents of this pack.
Would you purchase packs for Year of the Wolf cards, minus the upcoming Showdown in the Badlands set?
Comments
Zeddy also mentioned in this video: https://youtu.be/hWyhR-QApMA?t=454 Blizz accidentally gave players some of these packs but then removed them, oops 😅
Isn't this just a standard "lite" pack without the newest expansion? I don't see the point of it
The point probably is - they offer big number of packs for "returning players".
So they might as well give returning players packs from 5 newest packs at any given point in time. It might be automated system (finally ?), instead of choosing "manually" - which packs to give out (and losing precious programmers time). That's my wild guess.
Very unlikely I would purchase these packs over wild since 3 of those sets are rotating in March
