In Saviors of Uldum, players will join ranks with the League
of Explorers—a motley crew of treasure seekers and Azeroth’s
unlikeliest heroes. To get the upper hand against the League of
E.V.I.L., players will have to survive such perils as Plague
cards with powerful, board-sweeping effects and the
Reborn—restless mummified minions that come back to un-life
(with just 1 Health remaining) upon being defeated. Would-be heroes
can even the odds by completing all-new Quests, a returning
mechanic featuring game-changing objective cards that are now
easier to achieve and reward players with powerful alternate Hero
Powers.
“Starting with Rise of Shadows, and now with Saviors of Uldum,
we’re refining game mechanics and exploring new ideas that will add
even more layers of depth and strategic decision-making to
Hearthstone,” said J. Allen Brack, president of Blizzard
Entertainment. “We think these new cards, as well as the return of
fan-favorite heroes from the League of Explorers™ expansion, will
continue making this the game’s most exciting and competitive year
ever.”
Saviors of Uldum card packs will be winnable in Hearthstone’s
Arena mode starting with the expansion’s launch on August 6, 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 for a limited time* after release will be able to claim
one of the new Legendary Quest cards, randomly selected from this
set. Starting today and up until launch, players can pre-purchase
Saviors of Uldum card packs in two different bundle options: the
50-pack bundle includes a random golden Legendary card and the
Elise Starseeker card back, while the 80-pack Mega Bundle includes
those bonuses along with the new playable Elise Starseeker Druid
Hero. These bundles are available for $49.99 USD and $79.99 USD,
respectively; one of each can be purchased per account.
Further details regarding Saviors of Uldum’s corresponding Solo
Adventure, available in September, will be announced in the weeks
to come. Dig up more information at www.saviorsofuldum.com.
