Hearthstone is finally getting a new playable class in the form of Monk. Announced during BlizzCon 2026, Monk will mark Hearthstone‘s 12th class to date.
Hearthstone’s Monk Class Is Coming in Early 2027
Blizzard plans to release Monk in March 2027, though it has yet to announce an exact launch date. The developer is also keeping most gameplay details under wraps, saying only that the class will bring its signature “fluid playstyle and adaptable nature” to the CCG. The reveal cinematic that premiered during BlizzCon 2026 stars legendary Pandaren “brewmaster” Chen Stormstout, who will presumably be the default hero of the new Hearthstone class. Monk’s Hero Power, cards, and any unique mechanics have yet to be revealed.
