In-Game Event

Those who complete the rewards track can earn six Signature Cards which are 2x Kobold Miner, 2x Walking Mountain, and 2x Howdyfin. There are also other rewards like the Lantern Stringer Galewing Battlegrounds Hero Skin, and the Dragon Dance Celeste Hearthstone Hero Skin.
Players can also look forward to new and returning Lunar New Year cosmetics.
Bug Fixes
The new season for Twist along with the upcoming in-game event arrive with patch 28.4. This means bug fixes and gameplay improvements are here as well. For example, there is now a download manager interface where players can remove download modules form their device. There is one more major step for this modular download feature which is scheduled to come out in the next major patch.
Another improvement is that Blizzard Bots have been removed from the Standard ranked ladder. They're now limited to Apprentice where they continue to serve their role in smoothing out matchmaking for newer players.
Bug fixes meanwhile include:
- Fixed a bug where Trusty Companion would draw "All" type minions when played on a minion with no minion type.
- Fixed a bug where, if your minions were sent through time with Anachronos, and then you played Reno, Lone Ranger, your returning minions would be limited by the standoff just like your opponent's.
- Fixed a bug where Reno, Lone Ranger discounted Lightray.
You can check out the complete list of bug fixes here. The new patch also brings with it a new mini-set which you read more about here.
Hearthstone is available for the PC and mobile platforms.
