The Defenders of Dalaran have put out an APB on all Hearthstone®
players. With last month’s release of Rise of Shadows™, the newest
expansion for Blizzard Entertainment’s smash-hit free-to-play
digital card game Hearthstone®, millions of players joined ranks
with the dastardly Arch-Villain Rafaam—the only mustache-twirling
criminal mastermind without a face—and his colorful cast of
villains, the League of E.V.I.L. Now, after training their
disposable lackeys and concocting their wicked schemes, they’re
ready to pull off the dastardliest caper of all: stealing the
floating city of Dalaran—the entire city—in The Dalaran Heist, the
expansion’s metropolis-sized new Solo Adventure.

Kicking off the first-ever year-long storyline in Hearthstone,
players will do the dirty work of carrying out the League of
E.V.I.L.’s nefarious plans. Spanning five massive chapters, the
endlessly replayable Dungeon Run-style experience is filled with
challenging bosses, strategic decision-making, and
not-so-strategically planted explosives (Dr. Boom is involved,
after all).
“Hearthstone players let us know they wanted even more highly
replayable and entertaining single-player experiences, so the team
went all-in and delivered The Dalaran Heist—our biggest and most
ambitious Solo Adventure yet,” said J. Allen Brack, president of
Blizzard Entertainment. “Beyond the fun of carrying out Rafaam’s
plot to literally steal Dalaran, we can’t wait for players to sink
their teeth into the fun twists and turns they’ll encounter across
all five chapters of The Dalaran Heist.”
In The Dalaran Heist, nine completely new anti-hero “henchmen”
characters replace the playable classes in Hearthstone. Each is
fully voice-acted and features a customizable loadout comprising
unique Hero Powers and multiple deck options. With each of the five
chapters offering players a deep and engaging single-player
experience, The Dalaran Heist should keep players entertained
through numerous escapades.
The first chapter in The Dalaran Heist is a steal—and available
completely free to everyone. The four subsequent chapters can be
unlocked for 700 gold each or purchased as an all-inclusive package
for $19.99 USD. Unlocking all five chapters will grant players the
awe-inspiring power of Zayle, Shadow Cloak—a one-card ticket to
five full League of E.V.I.L. decks. Crime pays, of course: players
will also earn 3 Rise of Shadows card packs for every chapter they
complete, with more rewards awaiting those who finish all five.

Adventure. Stay out of trouble, kids.
