Hearthstone Summit 2020: Preparing upcoming Announcements?

Hearthstone Summit 2020

Same as in 2019, multiple Hearthstone personas from the Hearthstone scene got invited for a Hearthstone presentation for the upcoming Hearthstone year.

The year of Dragon is almost done, Hall of Fame should be announced this month, Hearthstone Battlegrounds will soon no longer be in beta and featuring Dragons, Mike Donais and Peter Whalen left Hearthstone for a secret project that might still be related to Hearthstone, they published a survey 2 months ago with potential changes for pre-purochase bundles (there is also a summary of it).

We will keep you updated when we learn more, feel free to discuss with us on discord!

First Announcements next week?

According to Oscar Soto (he describes himself as a journalist, Content Creator, and Musician in Lima, Perú on his website) we should get the first announcements starting next week!

Looking at the history this is very likely, nerfed were last year announced on the last Thursday of February.

Summary

The reddit user Ripperone published on Reddit a summary about everything we know (Source):

All I know from different Sources:

  • 2020 Roadmap contains up to 6 innovations/implementations. But Influenceres were unable to test all of them because some content is still under costruction.
  • All the content will be introduced gradually during 2020.
  • Influencers NDA comprends multiples embargos for each new content release scheduled by Blizzard.
  • Influencers played the entire upcoming expansion during demo session. They playtested a lot (5+ hours) and probably not just the new expansion.
  • Influencers have seen the 2020 Hall of Fame and some of they were very surprised by it.
  • Someone mentioned something about co-operation between Influencers in the near future.
  • Each couple of Influencers recorded a videoclip (similar to HCT Events) that will be shown in some “context” soon. (2v2 Co-Op Announcement maybe?)
  • Something HUGE will be announced very soon, presumably next week.
  • [Editor] They also gonna fix old problems with the game that are important for the game

Update 22 February:

  • Leeroy Jenkins is rumored to be introduced into Hall of Fame.

  • Battlegrounds will get a significative update.

  • New expansion will contain a card that appears to be broken (Shudderwock Feels).

  • F2P System has been improved in addition to substantial Economy’s tweaks.
