Preorders for Hearthstone’s New Magma-Filled
Adventure Begin March 19, Come with Exclusive Themed Card Back
Blizzard Entertainment revealed today what’s in the cards for
Hearthstone®: Heroes of Warcraft™—an all-new Adventure that will
challenge brave duelists to venture forth from the comfort of the
tavern and plunge into the depths of Blackrock Mountain™! The
newest addition to Hearthstone’s Adventure Mode will introduce a
slew of new hot-headed bosses to put players’ dueling skills to the
test.
The Blackrock Mountain Adventure thrusts
Hearthstone players into the middle of a war between powerful
forces battling for control of the mountain. There, duelists will
encounter fierce minions, including Dark Iron dwarves, fire
elementals, and dragons, before facing off against iconic menaces
from the Warcraft® universe, such as Ragnaros, the Firelord.
Card-slingers who take down these villains will reap a mighty
reward—31 scorching new cards inspired by the legendary mountain
and its denizens, bringing a wealth of new tactical options to the
ever-evolving Hearthstone metagame.
Coming this April to PC, Windows and Android™ tablets, and
iPad®, Blackrock Mountain will open up one wing per week over the
course of a month. As with the game’s first Adventure, Curse of
Naxxramas™, it will be accessible for either 700 in-game gold per
wing or $6.99 per wing, with the entire Adventure purchasable for
$24.99. Further details, including specific launch timing, will be
announced in the weeks ahead. Preorders (real money only) for
Blackrock Mountain will be available starting March 19, and will
include an exclusive card back to those duelists ready to take on
what lies within the mountain when it opens.
