Players still fine-tuning their decks after the 26.2.2 Hearthstone balance patch should hurry up since the Festival of Legends Mini-Set could jump to the main stage any minute now. It does not take to have an absolute pitch to hear this new update coming. Let’s go over when this second Festival of Legends act should start.
What is a Hearthstone Mini-Set?
As an intro, let me explain what Hearthstone Mini-Sets are. These content updates are mid-expansion card releases you’re able to buy all together in a bundle. Before the introduction of the Death Knight class, they consisted of 35 cards, now the count has gone up by 3 including some class cards for the new folk in town.

Hearthstone Mini-Set timings
Past trends usually help predict what’s gonna happen next or at least help you draw some conclusions. Hearthstone Mini-Sets were first introduced in the Darkmoon Faire expansion with the Darkmoon Races set. Since then, Mini-Set releases have been fairly consistent, and have followed a schedule that Dean Ayala, the former Hearthstone Game Director explained.
Doing some research we can corroborate that X.4 Hearthstone patches that bring the Mini-Set content, usually land around eight weeks after the expansion.
While the system isn’t a Clockwork Gnome job, the 2-month rule is fairly consistent. Some sets might have a slight delay, either due to holidays or other game announcements, such as the Mercenaries release. But, all in all, it makes sense.
So, by this rule, the next Hearthstone Mini-Set should arrive on June 6th, right? But wait, as we said, this isn’t an exact science, and the next clue will explain why it might be a week before that.

Hearthstone Heroic Tavern Brawl
This might sound strange, but Blizzard loves making money. So for them, it’s way better to sell Mini-Sets for cash (or Runestones) than for Gold. If players find their Gold chests empty at the time Blizzard announces the Mini-Set, then Hearthstone goes cha-ching.
The way Hearthstone found to do this is by launchingHeroic Tavern Brawlsright before the Mini-Set arrival. This happened during the Murder at Castle Nathria and March of the Lich King expansions.
This time, however, Hearthstone had to postpone the Heroic Brawliseum for a week due to abalance update. If everything had gone according to what was originally planned, Hearthstone’s Heroic Tavern Brawl would have ended on May 24, with the Mini-Set being announced just one or two days after.
