Knights of the Frozen Throne takes players to Northrend, where
they’ll meet an untimely demise, only to be raised by the Lich King
and granted terrifying new powers from beyond the grave.
Adventurers can harness this unholy might by collecting nine new
legendary Hero Cards that, when played, transform the heroes of
Hearthstone into fearsome Death Knights.
Those with the will to rise against the Lich King can embark on
a series of challenging missions that Knights of the Frozen Throne
offers to everyone—for free. Players who enter the icy halls of
Icecrown Citadel and complete the prologue shall receive a random
Legendary Death Knight Hero Card before battling through two wings
guarded by iconic bosses like the pestilent Professor Putricide and
Blood Queen Lana’thel . . . until only the Lich King stands between
them and the Frozen Throne.
“The Lich King is one of our most iconic villains, and we’re
excited to finally bring him—and his nine new Death Knights—to
Hearthstone,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard
Entertainment. “Whether they’re ascending the Frozen Throne or
dueling with friends at Fireside Gatherings, we can’t wait to see
how players wield these deadly new cards.”
Knights of the Frozen Throne is available now for Windows® and
Mac® PCs; Windows, iOS, and Android™ tablets; and iOS and Android
phones. Card packs can be purchased individually or in discounted
bundles from the in-game Shop for gold or real-world currency at
the same price as all other Hearthstone card packs. Players now
have the chance to win Knights of the Frozen Throne card packs as
quest rewards or prizes in the Arena, and can also craft cards from
