Blizzard Entertainment announces Blackrock Mountain, a new expansion coming
next month to
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, their virtual card game. Like the
Curse of Naxxramas add-on, this will roll out in weekly wings. Here are the
details:
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.
