Blizzard announces the
Grand Tournament expansion for
Hearthstone
is coming next month to the Windows, OS X, and mobile strategy game, adding 132
new virtual cards, as well as new spells, weapons, and more. Here's a bit:
Polish your armor, shoe your steed, and sharpen those lances—The Grand
Tournament, Hearthstone’s second expansion, is about to make its triumphant
debut!
A Heroic Gathering
Knights of all shapes and sizes from far and wide come together at the Grand
Tournament to complete for fame and glory! Years ago, the Argent Crusade started
the tournament as a way to find champions fit to take on Azeroth’s greatest
villains. Now that the Frozen North is less perilous (and a tad bit warmer), the
Grand Tournament has a playful side to it. Ogres, Pirates, Dragons, and even
Murlocs have sent their finest Knights, ready to strut their stuff and show what
they’re made of—all in the name of fun!
132 New Cards
The Grand Tournament bolsters the expanding Hearthstone library with 132 new
cards, introducing all-new spells, weapons, and a retinue of Azeroth’s most
renowned Champions ready to join your cause. Here’s a taste of what you can
expect when you step into this Grand Tournament!
Become Inspired
The Grand Tournament stands as a shining beacon of friendly competition,
emboldening your Hearthstone collection with an impressive procession of
knightly prowess. Hearthstone’s newest minion keyword – Inspire – activates
after your Hero Power is used. Utilizing your Hero Power while a minion with
Inspire is on the board will result in one of any number of effects, a few of
which can be seen below!
