I know that people have been asking about this for a while and have been replied to with, “ it’ll come in the middle of phase two.” However, it is the beginning of October and we are still waiting on an announcement or teaser relating to the new gamemode that Blizzard said would come out in Phase 2. Has there been any response from Blizzard about this? If not, when should the player base expect it to be released? Also, what would you like or not like the new gamemode to be?
It indeed is not the Book of Heroes. The book of heroes is the 'new solo experience' that was also on the sheet they presented:
We've had the new solo experience (Book of Heroes), Battlegrounds feature and are in the middle of the seasonal event now, so the new game mode will probably come after the seasonal event.
The next expansions likely launches early december, so we're now pretty much in the middle of the expansion cycle. My best guess is that the new game mode is launching begin november (soon after Halloween) and we'll see first announcements in a few weeks.
They probably planned to launch it during Blizzcon like Battlegrounds last year. That would mean early November. It wouldn’t surprise me if they announce it alongside the new expansion, to add early access to a pre-order package (which will probably be the new battlepass now).

This seems very likely. If development wasn't delayed owing to "work-from-home" orders this year, then the new play-mode is likely another month away from delivery.
Tbh the game won't introduce anything new in the nearest future. I think the game's lifespan is coming to an end. Firebat probably knows this as he retires from competitive play.

Hearthstone will still be going strong 10 years from now. Name me one Blizzard game, released post 1998, that isn't being played anymore.
EDIT: There will always be new players coming in, albeit youngsters or late-comers. Those that are already playing often feel too invested to give up on it. And then there's the grannies who REK you on ladder.
New game mode is one of the things that should be announce this week. Together with new exp. and system changes (probably changes in reward system since there were some rumors about it).
I would love to have a new game mode that incorporates at least one of the following: disabled animations, a lower turn timer, tournament mode, a mode that allows a player to limit what cards are allowed to be played (e.g. banning a class, banning certain cards/card types). the previous idea could be fun in combination with a draft mode (assuming you ban before drafting). a sandbox mode to more easily test deck ideas, perhaps with multiplayer (admittedly not as exciting as the other ideas). An arena mode where you redraft every game could also be interesting, but perhaps too time consuming to keep drafting repeatedly - maybe offset this by combining with "rapid-fire" mode (no animations, reduced turn timer) lol
I will be so dissapointed if the new game mode isn't a mode -other than wild -, where i can use my cards which rotated out.
Same. I really really hope for a rotating system where just some random expansions (not just the most recent + classic or ALL) are rotated out every month.
I love wild but I wish there was a way to not see all the same cards every time.

+1. 3rd ladder with 6 rotating sets will satisfy me well more than some advanced dungeon run or similar things. I want a place where I can do some deckbuilding and have regular fresh metas. Hearthstone has 24* sets, that means with 6 random sets will produce 24*23*22*21*20*19/(6*5*4*3*2) = 134596 possible metas. And that number will only grow with more sets added.
I think that solo content is a major waste of resources for Blizzard: once finished, there is no reason at all to replay any solo content. I love it, because pvp content is plagued by netdecks, so that each game feels the same (at least to me). I'd love to see a revamp to all solo content. Even simple stuff like new dailies such as "kill 3 bosses in Naxxramas solo adventure to gain 1 free pack from expansion X"

its hollows end right now, probably (hopefully) after this event...
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffer!
Knowing blizz this “book of heroes” thing is supposed to be the new game mode kekwait
I also assumed it was the "Book of Heroes" thing.

Come One, come All!
So maybe it coul be an alternative game where you play with all cards from all classes?
or a tournament mode in which you enter to play 10 different class decks????
and seeing those 3 baloons 1 green-common, 1 purple-epic and 1 red-? a new type of cards with a red gem???

I would guess something like tournament mode?

If we count basic and hall of fame as sets.
I still waiting for tournament gamemode, I think they announced this mode like 2 years ago.
