Prepare yourself, brave champion, for in the coming weeks an
eerie darkness will weave its way into the tavern, filling its
patrons with a spine-tingling uneasiness—and everything will
change. Whispers of the Old Gods™, the third expansion for Blizzard
Entertainment’s Hearthstone® digital card game, will unleash an
ancient evil from deep within Azeroth, bringing with it 134
twisted, tentacle-packed cards—along with the legendary power of
C’Thun, N’Zoth, Yogg-Saron, and Y’Shaarj.

Whispers of the Old Gods takes everything familiar in
Hearthstone and turns it . . . inside out. Under the sway of the
four Old Gods of Azeroth, familiar friends have been corrupted (and
have sprouted a few extra eyeballs in the process), new
monstrosities have appeared, and unrest spreads throughout the
tavern with every turn. As the Old Gods and their crazed followers
join you in battle, there’s no telling how much havoc you can wreak
with their unique abilities and game-changing powers. By the same
token, you’ll want to pay great attention to each play you make—for
it could well be your last in the newest Hearthstone expansion.
Coming to PC; Windows, iOS, and Android™ tablets; and mobile
phones, Whispers of The Old Gods card packs will be winnable in
Hearthstone’s Arena mode, and purchasable with in-game gold or real
money at the same prices as Hearthstone’s other card packs.
Starting March 14, and up until the expansion is released, those
brave enough to call forth this ancient and incredible power in
battle can pre-purchase Whispers of the Old Gods card packs in a
special 50-pack bundle, on any platform, for a one-time price of
$49.99 (one purchase per account). Whoever does so and lives to
tell about it will receive a unique themed card back.
