Those of you, like me, that thought Hearthstone was merely a trading card game will no doubt be pretty surprised and no doubt excited by todays news of a new adventure mode coming to Hearthstone in the future.
Curse of Naxxramus: A Hearthstone Adventure is the title of the release announced, featuring several wings, each with their own challenges and bosses to face. Taking place in the necropolis home to an old World of Warcraft vanilla raid that was later moved to Northrend in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, players will get to experience the death filled arena with a brand new board worthy of it’s plagued undead nature.
Be prepared for battle though, chances are this will not be for the feint of heart. The bosses will each have their own unique cards and hero powers so be prepared for whatever may be thrown at you. Featuring Maexxna, the humungous spider, the not so fungi Loatheb, and Patchwerk the abomination, careful not to stare at him or he’ll take your head from your shoulders…. you know, with cards.
The whole adventure will not be released all at once though, new wings will be released over a 5 week period, and with there being an entry fee to try your hand at taking on the demons within, you might just be glad of that extra time.
Also coming with this adventure will be 30 new cards, some of which have already been revealed. These cards are said to not only be available for the new adventure but will also be playable in the normal game modes. This will certainly shake up the ranked matches as new decks and new combos become more popular.
For those of you who are a little bit more casually inclined, you might be interested to hear that after you complete each wing of the necropolis, you will be rewarded with a guaranteed legendary! Soon you could be throwing bananas at your foes with King Mukla, charging headlong into battle with your own Leroyyyyyyyyyyy! or controlling the flow of time with Nozdormu. With the new cards, will we see new legendaries, one has already been revealed, Baron Rivendare, but will there be more?
Who knows, watch this space to find out.
