Announcing Battlegrounds Season 3!

Good news, everyone, Battlegrounds Season 3 is nearly upon us! Starting on January 17, Professor Putricide will be taking over, replacing Battlegrounds Quests with all his new creations.

New Undead and Dual-Type Minions

Thirty-two new minions come crashing into Battlegrounds in the new Season, including 16 new Undead minions and 11 new dual-type minions! While the Undead revolve around death effects like Reborn and Deathrattle, Dual-type minions have synergies with two different minion types at the same time!

A New Side to Putricide

Professor Putricide has been revived for Season 3! His new Hero Power—Build an Undead—lets you craft up to 3 custom Undead throughout the game! What twisted creations will you create?

Battlegrounds Track Refresh

On January 17, Battlegrounds Season 2 will end, and Season 3 will begin. At that point, players will switch over and begin earning rewards on the new Season 3 Battlegrounds Track. Any rewards that were already earned from the Season 2 Battlegrounds Track but not yet claimed will be automatically claimed.

The Battle for Silvermoon has spilled into Battlegrounds for Season 3! This Battlegrounds Track includes chilling new Scourge-themed, and fiery new Silvermoon-themed, cosmetics. Pick up the Season Pass to instantly get +2 Hero options at the start of each game, unlock all stages of the new Silvermoon Legendary Strike along the Track, and earn up to 15 additional Hero Skins throughout the Season.
