Quote from blizzardOnly the bravest heroes dare venture to the freezing reaches of the evil Lich King’s forbidding fortress, Icecrown Citadel. The most skilled might even overcome his terrifying undead minions. But when faced with the unholy fury of the Lich King himself, what happens when the heroes fall from the light? What will they do with the immense and terrible power the Lich King offers?
Soon it will be time to find out! Rise and harness the dread powers of a Death Knight for yourself when Knights of the Frozen Throne arrives on August 10!
Pre-Purchase Knights of the Frozen Throne
The Lich King might be immortal, but this bargain is not! Fortunately, a little time yet remains to pre-purchase 50 Knights of the Frozen Throne card packs for $49.99 USD. Pre-purchase now, and you’ll also unsheathe the chilling Frostmourne card back for your collection.
You will receive the Frostmourne card back and your packs as soon as your purchase is processed, and you can break the seal on your card packs once Knights of the Frozen Throne arrives.
Frost Festival
The coolest party of the year is still in full swing, so don’t miss it! Complete a special Arena quest each week to be rewarded with a Knights of the Frozen Throne card pack that you can open once Knights of the Frozen Throne arrives.
Northrend awaits! We’ll see you in the icy depths of Icecrown Citadel on August 10.
Anyone knows the exact time it will be live on US servers?
Does this mean Toast knew the whole time and actually let it slip???
It is on the 11th in the morning or maybe shortly after midnight on EU
Dang it I thought it was coming on the 14th but this is better
You can, it will release on august the 11th for Europe
I knew it! Well, guessed, actually :P
Anyway, nailed the date to be this, and did it as soon as July, 7th!
Sorry, but couldn't help brag ;)
EDIT: Since we have a couple not-so-nice fellows here, this is for them: STFU, downvoters.
lol Disguised Toast really did leak the release date.

I'm so excited
can't wait
Its cool that the Litch King sounds like Kel'thuzad from Naxxramas, because Kel'thu-freking-ZAD is my favorite boss.
Fun fact, the Lich King and WC3/Hearthstone KT are actually voiced by the same person. He's been voicing LK since the WotLK expansion for WoW, but Blizzard decided to have someone else voice KT for that expansion because players might get confused with two major characters having the same voice actor. He returned to KT for Hearthstone.
<3 the elevator music. Can Blizzard release that as its own track?
I had a prediction it was gonna come out after the frost festival was over. woo! cannot wait :)!!!!
OMG i want work somewhere similiar to blizzard company .
Wut?
That said, when does a pre-sale end?
Usually up to release. As soon as it goes live the pre-order will no longer be there
According to the Hearthstone app on my phone, the preorder ends on August 9th.
