Hearthstone May Have Just Teased a New Class

Key Takeaways

  • Hearthstone teased the possible debut of the Monk class with starry theme hints in its upcoming expansion.
  • Monks could bring a unique play style with fast movement, martial arts, and Chi mastery to the game.
  • The expansion set will be revealed on October 10, potentially revealing whether the Monk class is coming to the game.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the latest teaser from Hearthstone has me more than just a little intrigued. If you’ve been following this game as long as I have, you’d know that every hint, every teaser, and every sneak peek is worth its weight in gold.

It seems like Hearthstone might be introducing a new class, Monk, for their digital collectible card game. This suggestion comes from a recent teaser they’ve shared, hinting at this potential debut. The announcement of the third and final expansion for 2024, which will be revealed on October 10, could provide more details about this new addition.

In the world of Hearthstone, the Year of Pegasus is in full swing! Players can already get their hands on the mini-set associated with the second expansion, which they can acquire using gold or runestones. This means that the third and last expansion for this year is not far off – and a hint dropped at the start of the year suggests that this set will have a cosmic, starry feel to it.

It’s possible that the latest teaser for Hearthstone reveals more than just the theme for the upcoming expansion. A tweeted video by Hearthstone shows several content creators looking amazed at a starry scene behind what seems like an observatory wall. Although it only reinforces the celestial theme suggested earlier this year, the creators are also wearing clothing that resembles monk’s robes, hinting that the Monk class could potentially join Hearthstone in the future. This is not a definite confirmation, but it certainly points towards that possibility.

Is the Monk Class Finally Coming to Hearthstone?

In World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, the Dracthyr Evoker class is a new addition, while Monks remain the only WoW class not featured in Hearthstone. Known for their swift movement, martial arts, control over Chi, and brew-making (thanks to Chen Stormstout), if introduced to Hearthstone, Monk cards and abilities would likely reflect these key aspects. It’s also likely that Chen would be the default hero for this class.

Introducing the Monk class into a cosmic-themed Hearthstone deck would be ideal timing. The Monks are renowned for their strong bond with the celestial beings, as their martial arts techniques draw inspiration and names from them. Furthermore, just as the Death Knight was the last class added to Hearthstone, it was also included in the third set of 2022, which coincidentally is about two years before this expansion is expected to launch.

It’s plausible that this hint might not be about a fresh Monk class. Although the robes could be suggesting an August Celestial theme, the absence of the class in the expansion or its unrelatedness is also a possibility. However, the creators’ outfings are intriguing enough to consider them as a clue, so eager fans should stay tuned for the official announcement on October 10 to learn more about what’s coming next in Hearthstone.
