Blizzard has put out a video discussing Monster Hunt (featuring Dave Kosak!) in a Hearthside Chat format and has a small blog post.
Quote from DaxxarriStart stocking up on vials of holy water and cannonballs, because The Witchwood’s free, single-player missions, the Monster Hunt, goes live on April 26 at 10:00 a.m. PDT!
Join Lead Mission Designer Dave Kosak, along with Mission Designers Paul Nguyen and Giovanni Scarpati, for a Hearthside Chat that will equip you with everything you need to know for a successful Monster Hunt!
Ready for Action
If you played the Dungeon Run in Kobolds & Catacombs, the Monster Hunt will be eerily familiar—but much is different! Rather than choosing one of Hearthstone’s nine classes, you’ll take on the role of one of four veteran monster hunters, each with a special ability that you’ll need to make the most of if you hope to survive the hunt.
Your hunter will venture deep into the Witchwood on Hagatha’s trail, defeating a series of monstrous bosses who dare to cross your path. With each victory, you’ll build a stronger and stronger deck with the items you find. You may encounter some trusty old equipment out in the forest, but much of what you’ll find will be entirely new, including treasures unique to certain foes. Each monster hunter has their own favorite tricks—a special hero power or ability that you’ll need to master if you hope to survive the hunt. Each hunter also carries a grudge against a heinous nemesis in the woods: a unique boss that only they can track down to fight.
You’ll want to go on a Monster Hunt with every hunter, because each offers a quest that will earn you a Witchwood card pack. And if you’ve got the mettle to complete the Monster Hunt with all four hunters, you’ll finally have a chance to face off with the real witch in the woods: Hagatha! If you can free the wood from Hagatha’s curse, you’ll earn the gratitude of Gilneas and the Monster Hunter card back!
We hope you enjoyed learning more of what lurks ahead in Monster Hunt! We’re eager to hear your tales of The Witchwood on social media using the #Witchwood hashtag. Learn more about The Witchwood at TheWitchwood.com!
We’ll see you on the hunt!
Less than 3 hours to go! Why is there no countdown on the main page? It is a big enough event!
I can't wait to beat up on Duskfallen Aviana as punishment for getting her as my first witchwood legendary.
Just in time for when I should be studying for my college finals.
Oh no, Ben Brode got lost in the Witchwoods, he's transformed into Dave Kosak!!!! :O
If I can't Hunt a Kula-Ya-Ku or Kirin it's trash.
I wish there were more rewards involved with these "dungeon runs".
Alright, so here's the problem... Blizzard is trying to make something fun and different for everyone, and then there are all you people who who want rewards and shit. Like seriously, the reward is the fun itself....
Pumped for this. I like hunting monsters (not that I've ever actually done that)
Maybe the wait was so long cause this is the work of some random college student they pulled off the street and he (like every other student) hates deadlines. That's also why he made a joke of the whole team being one guy.
First 10 seconds : "can we please dub him with Ben Brode's voice ?"
Does this means 4 free packs of have I misunderstood? tks
That's what I'm getting from it.
"You’ll want to go on a Monster Hunt with every hunter, because each offers a quest that will earn you a Witchwood card pack."
Certainly feels more rewarding than completing 9 hero runs just for a mediocre cardback. Speaking of which have they revealed what the card back for monster hunter looks like?
There was also a card pack reward for trying Dungeon run for the first time IIRC
They should give a pack for each time you defeat the final boss once per day just to avoid farmers
They should not
Princess i like this card the most on the adventure set
Is it just me or does Dave Kosak look and sound like Jay from Red Letter Media. He could be his dad!
