Rise of Shadows - The Name of the New Expansion Has Been Leaked by IGN
Fantastic job IGN! 10/10, masterpiece.
Hearthstone Rise of Shadows has had its name leaked by a cached video page uploaded by IGN. Although we can't watch the video, we do know it's just over 3 minutes in length and Possessed Villager is displayed in the thumbnail. We've also got a logo leak for the set thanks to Phonandroid, a french mobile website.
Thanks to reddit users trauthor and ToxicAdamm for the tip!

Blizzard will usually release details as soon as a leak like this occurs. And it looks like the info is now up on their site.
https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/expansions-adventures/rise-of-shadows/ Check this, guys.
80€ 65€ for the megapack? I hope this is a fake news, otherwise they are totally out of mind.
It seems "the rise in price for shadow reasons" more than "rise of shadows".

I hope it's fake. Dumb and unoriginal expansion name. Something like Escape from Violet Hold or this type of theme sounds much better to me.
Not to worry! I've done a quick Google and so far as I can tell, this is the first CCG to be titled Rise of Shadows. Originality intact!
As for whether it's dumb or not, we'll have to wait and see if it can talk. Perhaps they'll release an interview with the name and we can confirm it's dumbness.
...But nobody's escaping from Violet Hold.
Why not just call it "Return to Argus"? I mean, why not? Happened in Legion, Dalaran was in Legion, makes sense to me!
It was confirmed. Shit.
lmao yeah because Escape From Violet Hold is an incredibly intricate and creative dungeon name.
^ This, guys. Stop talking about Possessed Villager....
Mecharoo isn't immune to E.M.P. Operative though.
:^)
Reprinting Possessed Villager would be great.
We need more Sha minions.
Based on the leak art, they all seem to be in some form of fancy dress!
Maybe there are in DISGUISE for infiltrating Dalaran some how?
Reprinting Possessed Villager right now would be kind of silly considering Mecharoo is in standard.
WHERE'S THE DAMN EXPANSION ANNOUNCEMENT?!
Are they reprinting possessed villager? If they are doing reprints (which in the past they mentioned they might), how would this work in wild? Would they only allow 2 copies of the same card in wild but you could chose whatever two versions you wanted? Would you be able to use your wild version of possessed villager instead of the new standard one? ... I am curious, really hoping they don't reprint cards as I want cool new things and never thought possessed villager was a fun card.
Possessed Villager has already been reprinted in case you didn't notice: Mecharoo
