The Year of the Dragon—Blizzard Entertainment today
released Saviors of Uldum™, the adventurous new expansion for the
company’s smash-hit free-to-play digital card game Hearthstone®.
The second part of Hearthstone’s year-long trilogy, Saviors of
Uldum features 135 new cards that expand the game’s deckbuilding
possibilities with new minions, spells, and weapons plucked from
the wind-swept deserts of Uldum, an ancient civilization filled
with musty tombs, powerful artifacts, and pulse-pounding peril.

Saviors of Uldum marks the thrilling return of the League of
Explorers—Elise Starseeker, Brann Bronzebeard, Sir Finley Mrrglton,
and Reno Jackson—four of the game’s most popular characters, who
have leveled up in legendary fashion. This quartet of questing
archaeologists now each feature a powerful Battlecry effect that
triggers if there are no duplicate cards in the player’s
deck.
In addition, Saviors of Uldum unleashes potent Plague
cards in Hearthstone, such as the Plague of Murlocs, which
transforms every minion on the board into one of the game’s
adorably aggressive amphibians. Players will also encounter a new
keyword, Reborn—describing doggedly persistent minions that,
thanks to a state-of-the-ancient-art embalming process, return to
life with just 1 Health remaining upon being defeated. All nine
hero classes can even embark on new Quests that, upon
completion, will grant them an alternate Hero Power.
“Saviors of Uldum reflects all of the personality and fun of
Hearthstone while opening a wide range of strategic possibilities
in the game,” said J. Allen Brack, president of Blizzard
Entertainment. “We’re excited to have the League of Explorers back
in action and can’t wait to see all the creativity players bring to
their decks with this new expansion.”
Hearthstone players have enjoyed regular content updates
featuring new and exciting ways to play all year long, from the
first expansion, Rise of Shadows™, and its infinitely replayable
Dalaran Heist single-player Adventure to multiple free in-game
events awarding card packs and in-game gold. Next month, players
will be able to explore the Tombs of Terror, the corresponding
single-player Adventure for Saviors of Uldum, which will offer an
all-new highly replayable experience—with some menacing new twists
thrown in for good measure. Further details on Tombs of Terror will
be announced shortly.
Saviors of Uldum card packs are currently winnable in
Hearthstone’s Arena mode, and players can purchase them with
in-game gold or real money at the same prices as Hearthstone’s
other card packs. In addition, players who log in now and for a
limited time after release will be able to claim one of the new
Legendary Quest cards, randomly selected from this set.*
