Mercenaries are a ton of fun! I’m hoping there will be more story added soon. I love the detail Blizzard puts into every aspect of Hearthstone! For example, since good ol Leeroy loves his chicken so much you can get a hilarious buff if Chi-Ji is in the party. I laughed pretty hard the first time I stumbled upon it!
There will not. It’s not really supported any longer
Mercenaries has been discontinued.
Is there really any story there? I thought all of Hearthstone’s story was in Solo Adventures.

Yep.
By the way, it was added in the last big patch as a part of the completely reworked treasure system. It has really added a whole new dimension to PvE (there’s also Mythic, but I didn’t like it that much), but it seems like some established players have ignored it and quit.

I understand that the mode isn’t a priority anymore and that new content for it only arrives a few times a year, but what I can’…
Like some other bugs, it has never been fixed.
They are available in the wiki, though.
PS That refers mostly to individual mercs and their own little stories, dunno about the main story, though.
Thoroughly enjoying it
