Several Hearthstone community members were in attendance at the 2020 Community Summit where they get a preview of what Blizzard is cooking up for the year and beyond.
Frodan sent out a Tweet today stating he was "still in shock" after hearing what has been planned for this year. I can tell you that last year I was teased with the prospects of the best year of Hearthstone yet and looking back on it, it was indeed an amazing year for Hearthstone. With knowing how invested Frodan has been into Hearthstone since its announcement, him feeling comfortable enough to tease the community as a whole today says something big.
An announcement is coming "soon", whatever that means.
What do you want to see out of Hearthstone this year? What do you think Blizzard will do with the game?
Quote From Frodan Still in shock after hearing what's planned for @PlayHearthstone 2020. The developers remain as passionate as ever. They haven't given up on the game. Not even close. If they can execute, this will cement Hearthstone for the next decade. For new, returning, and veteran players.
When do us normals get to find out?
Pretty soon. They didn't have everything 100% prepared so obviously it's not ready for the public to see, but they gave us a rough timeline of what's happening.
I don't wanna get in trouble and promise a date on their behalf…but the closest thing will be very soon.

Quote From Kripparrian We had an awesome time at the HS summit. You all should be very happy with what is coming to Hearthstone soon. Will be about 2 hours late for today's stream.

Quote From DreadsGaming Just like me, this water bottle is leakproof 🙃
Lots of cool stuff coming to @PlayHearthstone in the coming year and I can’t wait for you all to hear about it!

Quote From Tiago Taparelli I’m really impressed with what the @PlayHearthstone team presented today. Can’t go into specifics but it’s safe to say 2020 will be a great year for the game!
Thanks to Kripp for the article image.

There is talk of big and exciting changes and all you come up with is portraits ? Just wow :)
There is a new mage hero in the files named celestia, so he is probably more likely to be right than anyone else.
There already are a lot of statements from other people about those big changes. I don't have anything to add to that and I'm not one of those guys who have to repeat the same argument over and over again. But having read all the comments I noticed that nobody had mentioned the most obvious thing to come up and (probably) come up pretty soon: new portraits. I just tried to contribute in an actually meaningful way.
Announcement will be next tuesday 27th February.
Thanks me later <3
The 27th is a Thursday...
Just a typo, he meant Thuersday.
Let's say I believe Frodan, and am thinking in terms of setting the game up for the next 10 years. What would need to be changed to make the game last 10 years?....
Probably not getting any of the above.
I just deleted a massive paragraph that became extremely salty. Maybe I need to visit the salt thread and vent some frustrations about the current state of the game.
Cosmetics and statistics would be something easy and popular to do. Not to mention they would make a lot of money with cosmetics. But personally, I think the "10 years" part is a huge exageration and they'll just give us enough to keep the game alive. Everything else will be a pleasent surprise.
"for the next decade" he said. What could keep Hearthstone floating for the next 10 years I wonder?
- New class? or New Mode? Clans, Tournament, and Custom Modes still viable.
- Second guess is very unlikely. 4 new Expansions every year instead of 3. But that won't last long.
The Hype Train is going smooth, as long as it doesn't ended up like W3:Refund ^^
A lot of new cosmetics for real money! :D ;)
*sarcasm off*
I pessimistically feel like we are getting hype over some changes that won't end up being as big as advertised. However, there is always a chance.
Quick someone enhance the photo and look for reflections in the glasses!
i want some alternative to arena to get pack or/and gold for constructed players
Don't mind me, just waiting for Team 5 to tell me when they're going to announce Tables.
It's a small thing, but I want the heroes to have specific dialogue when spells are cast.
Like how Magni will say "HEAT UP THE FORGE!" when [Hearthstone Card (Upgrage) Not Found]! is played.
or how Gul'dan will say "KARA-KAZAN!" when [Hearthstone Card (Kara Khazam!) Not Found] is played
Make past heroes purchasable. Also card backs.
Yeah yeah I know you should've earned the card backs but not everyone was playing when the game started and I want a Hogger cardback sometimes
Deathwing and Sylvanas both have voicelines for specific spells. Many of them in fact.
Sure but Mieve doesn't have any voicelines as far as I know of.
There's a lot of heroes who do not have voicelines
Still regretting so much that I have left out on Lazul :(
A HS 2.0 where each class get cards that truly fits their identity.....enough with the mana cheating cards!!
Fix mage and give this class the means to fit its identity. Aggro/mid range decks...capable of huge bursts. Bring Tempo Mage back!!!
Oh my god. Mana cheating is so fucking stupid at the degree they've taken it. AGREED.
