Oh Boy... The Hearthstone Team has Gone Looking for Dave Kosak
Ben Brode and Ben Thompson have decided to go looking for Dave as he hasn't yet returned from his expedition. Ben has asked us to get in touch with Yong Woo if they aren't back by Sunday evening.
Quote from Silly Blizzard PeepsHey @DaveKosak, did you get back from camping alright? I can't wait to see the next expansion already! [Ben Brode]
Is he back? He didn't reply~ ...might have to go looking for him [Ben Brode]
Still no word from @DaveKosak. Hey @BenThompsonArt – you want to help me look for him? I really want to see the next expansion!! [Ben Brode]
Yeah, for sure... let me get my camera. [Ben Thompson]
im gonna be so tilted if its not today.
It depends on how long it takes us to find Kosak. We're leaving soon to find him, but i think it could take a few days
...but if we're not back Sunday night, call Yong Woo.
SENT FROM MOBILE [Ben Brode]
Uh... I hope you guys know what you're doing. [Yong Woo]
Selfie from the road! [Image is in this post above] [Ben Brode]
@ywoo_dev Hey Yong, I just wanted to let you know that @bdbrode and @BenThompsonArt aren't going to be back from their expedition to find @DaveKosak on Sunday. I hope you're ready to lead us to safety in these dark times.
I'm sure they are fine. What could go wrong? [Yong Woo]
They're officially StarBarians ! :D no wonder they won't be answering.
Uh oh. Ben forgot to bring the axe. They're fucked.
I m 100% sure it s not just simple emerald dream/nightmare. It will be like NiK with some geeky things, i think, it will be some mysterious things like Gravity Falls, or like X files
Point is they are all dressed in parkas...
The Expedition must be somewhere cold in Azeroth.
... Grizzly Hills?
Yes, and people will be complaining about the new meta once everything settles in a week, or so after the new expan is live.
STOP PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS!!!!
Sorry.
Oh, wait, that's not an emotion anymore.
Wow!
Mysteries of Duskwood confirmed?
Or maybe inspired by the Westfall Quest chain in the Deadmines with the Defias Brotherhood?

next expansion "Finding Kosak"
Don’t touch the butt!
Avalanche got them.
Just announce the expansion already haHAA Blizzard treating us like we are all 12 haHAA
I am 12, I don't understand what you are getting at.
The picture above with the obscure white light from above in the background is clearly a reference to the Rift of Aln in World of Warcraft.
After defeating Cenarius in the Emerald Nightmare Raid, players descend into a corrupted, maelstrom-like portal in the center of Moonglade and upon landing they find themselves in a completely empty and dark gray room called the Rift of Aln where they face off against Xavius; of which if you look above at the ceiling you can see roots descending from the rift with a white fog obscuring everything like we see in the picture.
I remember when people speculated that there was going to be an Emerald Dream expansion in WoW, but instead we got a raid called the Emerald Nightmare instead which was actually a pretty astounding, fascinating, and quick approach to elaborate more on whats going on with the Emerald Dream rather than releasing an entire expansion to advance the plot of the Warcraft universe.
My guess is that we won't be seeing a new Hearthstone expansion oriented around the Emerald Dream, but rather a twisted and corrupted version of it with the nightmare lord lord himself Xavius as sort of like the pinnacle card of the entire set.
announcement for the announcement of the teaser for the stream for the reveal of the theme of the next expansion
