Upcoming Hearthstone Content Announcement - July 22
It looks like we're getting an announcement about something new in the Hearthstone world real soon. Mark July 22 on your calendar - which interestingly, was the same day the Curse of Naxxramas adventure was released last year.
This news comes to us from PCGamer, who received a scroll in the mail today from Blizzard. We've got a transcription and picture of the scroll below.

Quote from Mysterious ScrollChampions are gathering from around the world to witness the next exciting thing Hearthstone has in s tore. News travels far and wide in search of brave new faces to answer the call to arms -- Are you one of them?Muster for battle and mark July 22 on your calendar. The next bit of news won't come by carrier pigeon -- thankfully, we have much better ways of communication now.
its been a few days give us more info, im just impatient
I have to disappoint everyone who thinks this has something to do with Argent Tournament. This is obviously a very clever ruse by Rexxar. He almost wrote a perfect letter there, but unfortunately betrayed himself when he wrote: "...in search of brave new faces to answer the call to arms...".
You see, only hunters reduce the opponent's hero to being merely "a face"... Hunter expansion confirmed!
Do me trade? Nope
Me go face? Yep
Me retard? Nope
Me am smart? Yep
SMOrc! SMOrc! SMOrc!
as far i know this whole expansions are setted like in wow first was naxx then blackrock and then needs to be TBC so.... i realy don't think that jump through expansions is good idea
Wait what?!
Guys the order is BRM - Zul Gurub - Ahn'Qiraj - Naxx; and then TBC...
INb4 blizz trolls us. The last overhyped thing became Tavern Brawl. This thing could become a chat system.
Then again, Blizz would be too lazy to pay the postage to send out a letter just to create a chat system... But the whole last paragraph about communication(which has no connection with the rest of the letter) makes me wary. Usually the ending of a letter or word block is what you want the reader to think about the most. Maybe they add a chat system in addition to the rest of the stuff being added?
I don't think so
I really don't think so, partly because while Blizzard has been known to troll players, all that setup and effort would just be overkill, and also, notice that the scroll said we have better ways of communicating? I think that if a chat system like X Box live really was the new content, then they would have said "we WILL have new forms of communication.
we "have"better forms of communication, as in, they have the design etc ready, and just need to implement it/ BUt yeah chat will probably not be added. Seeing how people are already bming with the option to only use 6 phrases... a chat could be quite toxic.
So, that's why the current card back is troll-themed...
On one hand, a new Adventure.
On the other, a card expansion.
Honestly? I'd enjoy it being a culmination.
And, dare I hope, Death Knight.
It'd be a connected theme.
I quote Kathranis: Why would they mail out physical scrolls to news sites to advertise new hero skins?
But I'm not talking about new hero skins. I mean a new hero, but it wouldn't just be a new hero. They'd have most likely release it as part of a card expansion, more than likely. So this sets up the possibility of a themed release.
Card expansion of/relating to Argent Tournament; release Icecrown Citadel as the next Adventure; new hero rises from the grave, Death Knight.
And yea, I see your point on releasing a new class. If they did three new classes, it would be interesting to see what the third one is.
Its just going to be a tournament mode thats all...
Can't wait to see what the next $24.99 will bring
The first week was the least fun. Very one sided match up.
Okay GoToTheSatan I see you do not appreciate the hilariousness of RNG so you must be taught a lesson. The third Tavern has been by far the best you know why because it's fun... That's the point of tavern not a free pack every week. The First tavern brawl brought new heroes to our fingertips spicing things up. The second tavern brawl was as good as Angry Chicken is in constructed because it made face hunter and zoo and mage even more OP. The 3rd tavern brawl was the best because new players had a chance against experienced players and the RNG always made it anyones game, oh you just got Gahz'rilla okay well I'm dead so let's kill off a Webspinner and get an Ironbeak Owl, I'm dead next turn and need 7 points of damage King Krush is here to help. RNG is the fruit of Hearthstone that is why the most popular Hearthstone videos are Funny and (un)Lucky moments.
A lot of people were hoping tavern brawl would force people to think and design their own unique decks, instead of it we got a one-sided 1st brawl, cancerfest 2-nd brawl and "RNG IS SO FUNNEH, AMIRITE" 3-rd brawl. I disliked that they only had a reward for winning 1st game, but now I'm so glad I don't have to play this "hillarious RNG" mod.
Wow I've never seen such a psychopathic person as this guy (wythor) ever...
Tavern Brawl has been fun every week (even the one-sided Nefarian vs. Rag brawl), if you don't struggle on any one of your games then they aren't fun. A winfest is the most boring of things.
new skins?
Hype!
