Explosive first expansion will feature over 120
new cards
Blizzard Entertainment today revealed plans for an explosive new
addition to Hearthstone®: Heroes of Warcraft®—Goblins vs Gnomes™!
Announced at the company’s eighth BlizzCon® gaming convention,
Goblins vs Gnomes is the first expansion for the game and will
introduce over 120 new goblin- and gnome-infused cards for players
to add to their collections.
Goblins vs Gnomes immerses Hearthstone players in
an epic rivalry between goblin engineers and their gnomish
counterparts. Though wildly brilliant, these pint-size tinkerers
don’t always have the upper hand on the mechanical contraptions
they create, and the results can be wonderfully unpredictable. The
new cards coming in the expansion are filled with wild and wacky
inventions as well as some faces that will be familiar to World of
Warcraft® and Hearthstone players.
“Goblins vs Gnomes is going to turn Hearthstone on its
head,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard
Entertainment. “It introduces a ton of new cards with all-new
options for decks and strategies, and we can’t wait to see all the
crazy combinations players come up with.”
Coming this December to PC and iPad®, Goblins vs Gnomes card
packs will be winnable in the game’s Arena mode and purchasable
with in-game gold or real-money at the same price as standard card
packs. Specific details on launch timing will be announced in the
weeks ahead.
