If you’ve been sitting around waiting for the announcement of the announcement to the next Hearthstone expansion than you are in luck! The final expansion for the Year of the Mammoth will be announced at BlizzCon on November 3rd during their annual Hearthstone – What’s Next panel!
Greetings, travelers! Gather at the inn as the Hearthstone team gives you a look at what they’re serving up next and delve deep into how the Year of the Mammoth will come to a close! – Source
If you want to play detective, there’s supposed to be a clue in the image below that could lead you to what theme the next expansion will feature. This Reddit post also goes into detail trying to figure it out.
There will also be these other Hearthstone events and panels:
Hearthstone Inn-vitational
This will be running throughout November 3rd and 4th.
The Hearthstone stage at BlizzCon 2017 will play host to the Hearthstone Inn-vitational—a unique team-based competition between three player groups of your favorite Hearthstone personalities, pros, and prodigies. Over the course of a series of round-robin matches in Standard, Wild, and other formats, teams will accrue relics that will afford them benefits in the final, yet-to-be-revealed portion of the competition.

The Innkeeper’s hosting a whole new kind of game in his tavern! Two teams of audience members, Hearthstone streamers, and content creators face off and test their Hearthstone knowledge. Come play along!
Hmm – well Un’Goro has some jungle flora on the Expansion I “flyer” – Expansion II (KFT) has blue glowy (icy) magical symbols … while the next expansion has, quite literally, a cut purse.
… so, something Elwynn Forest (Cutpurse territory in WoW) related with more steal-stuff type mechanics, particularly for Rogue – maybe some more Defias Brotherhood related cards (though they’re kaput in WoW now – apparently, not played for a long time).
Possibly more Goldshire, Northshire or Stormwind cards as they’re all around the Elwynn Forest, especially for Paladin and Priest. Perhaps something Tower of Azora (https://wow.gamepedia.com/Tower_of_Azora) related for Mage.
… Druid will no doubt get something like Tree-win, “5 mana, destroy all minions and replace them with 5/5 Treants under your control”
^ … the Druid bit is supposed to be sarcasm -_-
Priest is getting a new card too, called “Delayed PTW” (10 mana)
Battlecry: Your account will be charged $5 and your opponent will concede.
Brilliant!
I have already starting to play some GWENT now. Another card game. Just in case I will quit HS soon. This super expansive PTW is really frustrating.
When the hearthstone world championship will be hold?
I thought they were at BlizzCon, but I forgot they moved them to January: The Hearthstone World Championship will take place in January 2018. In this final showdown, the top 4 winners from each of the Winter, Spring, and Summer Championships as well as the top overall Hearthstone Competitive Point earners from each region will compete for a chance at Hearthstone glory and a piece of the $1 million prize pool.
I may be slow but I don’t see anything that could give us a clue as to what the next may hold. Any thoughts? Im hoping that we get a “flying” mechanic for certain cards. Sounds a little/ lot like MTG but its something that could add a little more complexity to underrated pre-existing minions and there somewhat stale current meta. Let the little guys have a chance!
