First Hearthstone™: Heroes of Warcraft™
single-player Adventure features fun new cards and frightfully
challenging foes
The first wing of Curse of Naxxramas™: A Hearthstone™ Adventure
has opened! Players can now put their decks to the test against the
malevolent undead who roam Azeroth’s most infamous floating
necropolis—without spending a single coin. The Arachnid Quarter,
the first of the Adventure’s five sinister wings, is now
available—free for a limited time—to all Hearthstone: Heroes
of Warcraft™ players who step into the necropolis during the Curse
of Naxxramas launch event, taking place now through early
September.
Curse of Naxxramas pits solo Hearthstone players against a
series of iconic, necrotic bosses, each with its own unique powers
and cards to command. Heroes will need to draw on all of their wits
and deck-building prowess to prevail over Naxxramas’s horrors,
earning a total of 30 new cards along the way that can be used in
regular play—including a new Legendary card for completing each
wing.
“Curse of Naxxramas introduces a whole new way to play
Hearthstone,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard
Entertainment. “Players of all skill levels will find plenty to
challenge them within Naxxramas’s haunted corridors—and plenty of
new options for their decks with the new cards we’re adding.”
A new wing of Naxxramas will open each week, and access to these
four additional wings may be purchased for 700 gold per wing or
$6.99 per wing. Players can earn the in-game gold needed to
unlock the next wing by completing various quests or emerging
victorious from the game’s Arena mode—or they can choose to unlock
the next available Naxxramas wing using real money.
Curse of Naxxramas bundle packages are also available to those
who want to save on unlocking all the new content. With bundle
packages, you can unlock any remaining wings you may need at a
discounted real-money price, ensuring that you’ll be able to dive
into the next challenges as soon as they unlock. Four wings can be
purchased for $19.99, three wings for $14.99, and two wings are
bundled at $9.99.
