So, following on from the announcement of an incoming... well, announcement, Blizzard finally revealed what the big deal was. And as we guessed, it's the next big Hearthstone installment.
Whispers of the Old Gods will introduce into the game a whole bunch of new cards based upon the ancient and powerful beings that sleep under the surface of Azeroth... and they're not exactly what you'd call merciful gods either. Among the 134 new cards incoming to decks around you will be four Legendaries based on the 'Gods' and a number of cards that contain some corrupted and twisted versions of familiar Minions you might have met before.
As with The Grand Tournament there's a pre-purchase offer for 50 packs of the new cards at a discount, which will also include an exclusive card back. It's $49.99 or the equivalent for your region to buy these. Otherwise you'll need to wait until the release in late April/early May to begin adding these new cards to your collection of playable virtual cards.
Also, check out the trailer if you've not already caught it. It sets the atmosphere quite nicely...
