Hearthstone Catch-Up Bundles: A New Way to Build Your Collection

If you're new to Hearthstone or coming back after a break, you know the struggle: you feel light-years behind other players and your card collection is looking pretty sparse. But don't worry, Blizzard has a solution for you - the new Catch-Up Bundles! These special bundles contain cards from every Standard expansion prior to the most recent one, "Showdown in the Badlands". What's unique about them? The bundles are dynamic and adjust their contents based on your existing collection. That way, you'll get exactly the cards you still need.

How Can I Get These Catch-Up Bundles?

There are several ways to get your hands on these valuable bundles. Firstly, you'll receive them simply by logging in during the launch of the new expansion. Additionally, you can snag up to five more bundles during a special "Showdown in the Badlands" event.

Is there a limit to the Catch-Up Packages?

Yes, there is. Blizzard has set a limit on the number of Catch-Up Packages available. Once this limit is reached, you will have to wait for the team to release more packages.

What is the benefit of these packages?

The Catch-Up Packages are a real treasure trove. In an example shown by Blizzard at BlizzCon, opening 20 of these packages on a new account immediately unlocked 798 cards. And these are cards from five different expansions of the Hearthstone Standard format!

But be aware!

It's good to know that the three oldest expansions will rotate out next year, with over 500 cards moving to the Wild format. This means that cards from these expansions can only be played in the Wild format.

How much do these packages cost?

Although Blizzard has not specified a fixed price, Catch-Up Package bundles will be available in the Hearthstone Shop starting from November 14th. For more details, you can visit Blizzard's support website. With the new Catch-Up Packages, Hearthstone brings a breath of fresh air to the game and helps you efficiently build your collection. This keeps the game exciting and fair for newcomers and returning players alike. Now, it's time to dive into the game and conquer the new cards!
