Kobolds & Catacombs takes Hearthstone players into the
bowels of Azeroth, where the dastardly kobolds have been boring
tunnels for thousands of years and hiding away scores of ancient
treasures. Hearthstone players will discover powerful new cards
among these riches, including a Legendary Weapon for each
class—one of which everyone who logs in to Hearthstone starting
today will receive free. Rumors also speak of mighty
Spellstones, magical jewels for each class whose effects grow in
power throughout a match. Ever-wary of greedy adventurers’
plots to liberate their hoards, the kobolds have lured terrible
monsters and laid deadly traps to help protect them. Luckily,
adventurers don’t have to go it alone. By playing cards with the
new Recruit keyword, players can summon random minions
directly from their decks, opening the door for entirely new
approaches to deckbuilding.
The deadliest hazards of all await players in Kobolds &
Catacombs’ new and completely free single-player mode: Dungeon
Runs. These high-stakes subterranean adventures are inspired by
the iconic fantasy dungeon crawl, and they’re never the same
experience twice. Those brave enough to embark on these challenges
can earn three free Kobolds & Catacombs card packs by
completing a series of introductory quests. Players who complete a
full Dungeon Run with all nine classes will also earn the “Candle
King” card back—indisputable proof that they’ve mastered one of
Hearthstone’s most daunting challenges yet.
“Kobolds & Catacombs harkens back to the type of old-school
fantasy-gaming experience that many of us at Blizzard and in the
community grew up on,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of
Blizzard Entertainment. “We think players are going to love the new
cards and testing their mettle in Dungeon Runs, and we can’t wait
to see how deck strategies evolve with the new mechanics we’ve
added with this set.”
Kobolds & Catacombs 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 Kobolds & Catacombs card packs as quest
rewards or prizes in the Arena, and can also craft cards from the
expansion by using Arcane Dust collected from disenchanting
unwanted cards.
For a limited time, players who log in to Hearthstone will
receive three free Kobolds & Catacombs card packs to celebrate
the launch of the expansion—in addition to the ones earned from the
introductory Dungeon Run quests.

expansion and prepare yourself for the hazards and horrors that
await you in the depths below Azeroth.
