With over two decades covering videogames, Tim has been there from the beginning. In his case, that meant playing Elite in 'co-op' on a BBC Micro (one player uses the movement keys, the other shoots) until his parents finally caved and bought an Amstrad CPC 6128.
When Hearthstone Battlegrounds' Duos mode was announced in November last year, Blizzard said to expect the launch in early 2024. We now know that April 16 is the day players will begin buddying up to take on lobbies. The full
I'm a long-time enjoyer of the auto-battler spinoff, so I'm looking forward to jumping in over Discord with my colleagueIn Duos you share a life pool with your teammate and face off against three other teams.

As you'd hope, Duos features some substantial tweaks from the normal Battlegrounds formula. Players can pass cards between each other at a cost of 1 Gold per time, which you're going to want to do because many of the new cards and heroes have been designed specifically to synergise with the mode.

In total, Duos is getting 4 unique heroes, 16 minions and 3 tavern spells. I've dropped the minions revealed today in the gallery at the bottom of this article.
