Hearthstone's next single player Adventure is Galakrond's Awakening! The first wing of the Adventure will be live on January 21st, 2020. This will be a linear Adventure -- straying from the "Dungeon Run" format we've seen for the past few expansions. 35 New Cards will be introduced to the game through the chapters of the Adventure.
"Galakrond’s Awakening is the final solo adventure in the Year of the Dragon and will conclude the saga that began with The Dalaran Heist. When we last left our heroes and villains, the Tombs of Terror had been unsealed, spreading plagues across the sands of Uldum. The League of Explorers defeated the Plague Lords, but Arch-Villain Rafaam escaped with the Plague of Undeath. We now know why: to resurrect Galakrond, the progenitor of all dragons!
Will E.V.I.L. prevail and prove that Rafaam is truly the evilest of all villains? Will the Explorers defeat Rafaam and save the world? In this adventure, you have the power to choose. Galakrond’s Awakening is two stories in one, giving players the ability to play through both versions of the story and experience two completely different endings. Unlike The Dalaran Heist and Tombs of Terror, Galakrond’s Awakening returns to the classic linear adventure format, allowing you to progress through the story by completing individual boss encounters in order."
Adventure Info
- The Adventure contains 4 chapters, with two sides to every Chapter; 4 for both the League of Explorers and the League of E.V.I.L.
- Each chapter will contain 3 unique encounters, for a total of 24 battles.
- You'll control one of the heroes or villains we've seen this year in each battle.
- The encounters will all feature premade decks on Normal mode. On Heroic mode you have to create your own decks.
- Blizzard says we'll be sure to see some familiar faces -- including George & Karl!

Heroic Rewards
As always, there are card backs for completing the Adventure in Heroic Mode. This time around we get two; for completing with both the Explorers and E.V.I.L.
you can use them in standart and wild
terrible priest cards
as always
Am I nuts or does the green and gold card back look WAY better than the purple and grey? They could've make it a bit less of a bland colour palate on that one I feel like.
Are we given these cards if we buy the adventure? Are we given them if we don't? Or do we have to craft them
Once you buy and complete wings of the adventure you will be given them per part you finish. They want the cards to come out gradually so they can impact the meta bit by bit over the course of the weeks, so they make it so you need to beat the adventure stuff to get it. In other words the wings that are not out yet will not have the cards available till they are.
Prediction: Each class will get 3 cards + 8 neutrals (2 legendary, 2 epic, 2 rare, 2 common)
So when they said classic linear adventure format, do they mean like Naxxramas and Blackrock Mountain where we use our own cards to make a deck? It would suck if it is that way cuz I am hoping to play some op and interesting cards in solo adventure mode.
dude that was the best, masterminding a way to defeat a boss with your own cards instead of the shenanigans that happened in SoU and RoS
It's probably gonna be a mix of the two modes.
They said it will be the traditional linear format -- so, I'm guessing like BRM or Naxx.
Decks will be pre-made for you in Normal difficulty. You'll make your own decks for Heroic mode.
"The encounters will all feature premade decks on Normal mode. On Heroic mode you have to create your own decks."
I'm so glad I didn't cave in to buying the Saviours of Uldum solo adventure now
Will there be an other
card reveals before the 21st?I think there will be 4 explorers legendary for each class!
I hope so too, but after the 2 new legendary reveals it seems not :Cccc
I think we will definitely get all 4 explorers, I think it will be like that to even out the scales, since all E.V.I.L classes got Galakrond Hero Cards. But it's still kinda not fair, because Galakronds were given for free, but these will have to be basically purchased in one or other form. I might be right and I might be wrong, time will tell.
are these playable cards?
Yes, they will be playable cards when the Adventure goes live. In total, we'll have 35 new cards to add to our collections.
Can you please tell me for how long will these 35 cards be playable in standard and for how long they'll be uncraftable? Thanks.
They rotate out at the beginning of 2021, with the rest of the Year of the Dragon
