Tavern Brawls brings the silly fun of Hearthstone’s campaign challenges to multiplayer, aiming for ‘mid-June’

Publisher Blizzard is adding a new game mode to its card battler as part of an incoming update.

Hearthstone’s patch to version 2.7 will introduce the Tavern Brawl, and according to a Blizzard spokesperson, “We are aiming for mid-June, but I don’t have a more specific date than that right now.” This is a new head-to-head mode that challenges players to outwit opponents in special matches. Blizzard explains that Tavern Brawl will either give you odd, premade decks to play with or require you to build you own decks that match “surprising guidelines.” This introduces a bit of spice that may keep high-level players entertained if they start growing tired of the traditional battle and Arena modes.
