As we announced earlier this month, Kobolds and Catacombs Releases December 7 in the Americas. December 8 is the release date for Europe.
- Everyone who logs in will get three Kobolds card packs.

In total, you can get 6 free card packs for the new expansion and a Legendary weapon!
Quote from BlizzardAzeroth’s rat-like, candle-loving cave folk—the kobolds—have been digging deep beneath the surface for millennia. Their catacombs stretch on for miles, wending through forbidden tombs and breaking through the walls of long-forgotten treasure vaults. A hoard of glorious loot is there for the taking—if you can survive the dangers that lurk in those uncharted tunnels!
Beginning December 7, delve deep into an unexplored underground realm packed with malignant monsters, terrifying traps, and treasures beyond imagination in Hearthstone’s newest Expansion: Kobolds & Catacombs!

Are they talking about clearing all quest slots or should we just leave one slot empty for the new quest to appear?
I'm guessing it will be like the MSoG quests that we got at release. If that's the case, it will only use one slot and the next quest will only appear after you cleared the previous one.
No guarantees though, so you might want to clear everything to be safe.
I think you are right. It says "make room" not clear them all. At this point we can only speculate and since it's somewhat unclear, I'll probably just have at least one empty. Thanks!
Upon release we got a new quest in the log. It either filled a free slot, or replaced one quest in the log (if it was already full of dailies).
They are giving much more because of the new expansion format. One new expansion every 3-4 months can make the game very expensive/ inaccesible for some players. The matchmaking waitime is short because of everyone, be it f2p, Richie Rich or casul gamers, every single player matters!
Sounds like no pre launch stream. A bit disappointed but i suppose it is the holidays.
I <3 free packs!
Soooo.... Is there gonna be a final reveal stream this Friday revealing the final cards?
It's not going to be this week since there's community reveals until Sunday.
So technology still isn't there to make special quests have their own slot? That must be really challenging thing to achieve!
Wait are free packs only for US? Kappa
I know that Americans are arrogant, but everyone usually refers to... You know... Everyone?
Even if you go by your troll logic "Six Free Card Packs Await Us!", it's only 6 packs for the entire USA.
That missunderstanfing of joke by downvoters is painfull. Sorry for that mate.
Makes me wish they had the no-duplicate legendaries, first 10 packs guarantee in place and were this generous in MSoG and Un'Goro.
Getting just Genzo, the Shark and two copies of Lakkari Sacrifice on their set's respective opening day REALLY SUCKED. Knights was much, much better with the new rules in place and Blizzard giving away bonuses and such in the weeks heading up to it.
/OMG, will Lakkari Sacrifice finally be worth playing in this expansion?
They do have the no-duplicate legendaries in place?...
yeah, lakkari sacrfice will be pretty sick in a control warlock. Run only the quest and the new 4 mana discard spell, maybe malchezaar's imp. Never play the quest on turn one but always keep it. Ideal scenario is turn 2 tap, turn 3 quest tap, turn 4 play the spell, turn 5 play the portal.
If you don't draw the discard spell, just play as a regular handlock/control warlock/renolock.
We might see that Un'Goro discard deathrattle pop up too in decks like this.
I figure tech cards like Skulking Geist and anti-weapons will not be in these decks unlike usual control.
I wish, but I can't see Blizzard being that generous.
