So, at first I want to point out, just in case, I post this on general because I'm not sure where does this thread belong otherwise.
We had announcements on a mercenary mode for quite some weeks now. Today, I was pretty excited because I thought we would finally see what would it be.
However, then the release for today turned out to be a book of heroes thing with the mercenaries as protagonists (in this case warrior).
Is this all it is going to be? Or are we getting in the future a mercenary mode and this just works as an introduction to the characters?
By that matter... what plans did Blizz have in mind for the mercenary mode, if such thing exists?
We’re excited to share some initial details on our next new game mode, Hearthstone Mercenaries! Hearthstone Mercenaries will feature strategic RPG gameplay and roguelike missions that provide a fresh set of challenges every time you play.
In Hearthstone Mercenaries, players will build of a collection of mercenaries from among dozens of fan-favorite Warcraft characters such as Sylvanas Windrunner and Ragnaros the Firelord (as well as some new faces).
Before a Mercenaries run begins, players will assemble a team of mercenaries from their collection. Each mercenary has a unique set of abilities, and they’ll acquire experience and loot by winning battles, eventually earning the ability to evolve into more powerful versions of themselves!
Mercenaries features a fast-paced combat system that rewards cunning and anticipation. Before each fight, players will select mercenaries from their team to participate in battle. Each turn, they’ll pick their team’s actions simultaneously with their opponents and watch the results of the fight play out.
Players will face a new selection of randomly generated encounters every time they start a Mercenaries run, earning in-game achievements and rewards to bolster their team as they battle their way to the final boss. And in PVP mode, players will be able to pit their mercenary teams against other players!
We’ll have more information to share on Hearthstone Mercenaries, including a launch date, later this year.

I can't believe they're still forcing through dungeon runs. It has been dated and boring since the 2nd time they did it.
Nah mate, it's always been fun, Book of Heroes was the only disappointing one.
I love you Dreadsteed, I will never disenchant you!
Thanks for your input guys. Now I only have one more question.
When is the next mercenary going?
Click to see my Hearthstone projects:
From this HS patch (20.0.0.77662) only one Book Of Mercenaries (BOM_01) was available, in addition to the BOH for Thrall
So we will have to wait for the next patch to get more information about the next BOM and BOH.
Play as you are. Have Fun!
