Shop Update: Battlegrounds Season 9 Pass, New & Returning Skins, Diamond and Signature Bundles, Pack Bundles

Before I start, if you’re interested in Battlegrounds at all, you should go to the shop and claim 4 Battlegrounds Tokens for free!

Another shop update dropped today! And since it coincides with the release of a major patch (31.2 – you can check out the full patch notes here), the update itself is also massive. We’re getting Battlegrounds Season 9 Pass – both in the regular and “plus” versions (plus lets you reroll one Hero per match without spending any Tokens). Then there are lots of new and returning Hero skins, Diamond and Signature bundles. Once again we have a couple of Signature cards available for Gold – this time it’s Fye and Reska (both are good cards and their Signatures look nice in my opinion, but keep in mind that they both rotate out of Standard in ~3 months). And of course lots of other smaller and bigger card pack bundles (including ones tied to the repeat of Wonders format in Twist). Anyway, here are all of the new items that are available this week:

• 4 Battlegrounds Tokens (Free) – All players can claim 4 Battlegrounds Tokens for free.

Tier 1 skins are “premium” ones while Tier 2 are more basic. In general, Tier 1 skins tend to include more extra features like completely new emotes, Hero Power animations, unique Hero tray, or some extra visual effects. Some of those might also be included in Tier 2 skins, but usually only 1 of those special features is present (if any). It’s not an official classification – it’s just something we use to differentiate between more basic and premium skins! Blizzard has added their own “rarities” for Battlegrounds skins, but they haven’t done it so far for Constructed (other than Diamond & Legendary Heroes).

New items usually stay in the shop for around 1-2 weeks – sometimes it’s longer (3 or more weeks) but I wouldn’t universally count on that, so if you’re interested in one of them, get them soon.
