An update to the Korean Play Store page for Hearthstone may have spoiled some things coming to the game in the near future. The biggest one of them is the theme and some mechanics from the next expansion, which should launch sometime in August. This news comes from a Reddit post by user TEnOTT, who posted a screenshot of those notes. Below is a version translated via Google Lens:

This translation is confirmed to be somewhat accurate by Reddit user Solid0528 in the post linked above. The expansion looks to be beached-themed (aligning with the teaser from a few months ago), set on a vacation island. It will feature tourists (likely characters from Hearthstone's past), extreme paradise jobs,  delicious drinks (cycles of cards, perhaps?), and the ability to reopen locations.

The notes also mention the return of Baku and Genn to the Core set until Patch 30.0. That would be the patch when the expansion releases, so expect some news about an event announcing their return coming soon. Finally, Buddies will make a return to Battlegrounds (Google Lens translated that as "Comrades"), both in the base version and Duos.
