Hearthstone Perils in Paradise release date

The Perils in Paradise expansion went live on Jul 03, 2025. It arrived with 145 new cards, the Tourist mechanic, Locations, Drinks, plus a new Tavern Pass.

How the Tourist keyword works in Hearthstone

The new keyword, Tourist, lets players use cards from another class. For example, the Mage class' legendary Tourist card is Raylla, Sand Sculptor. This minion lets Mage players visit the Paladin class. Meanwhile, the Demon Hunter class can venture into some Priest shenanigans thanks to Aranna, Thrill Seeker.

“While deckbuilding, put your class’s Tourist into your deck, and you can add the Perils in Paradise cards from their destination class into your deck, too,“Blizzard explained. But only one Tourist per deck — no vacation hopping.”
