In Ten Days, Hearthstone's Next Expansion Will Be Revealed - What We Know So Far
A countdown to the expansion announcement will show up on our front page next week - stay tuned!
In just a little under 240 hours, we'll know the name and some details of Hearthstone's next expansion - the last one for the Year of the Raven.
This year's BlizzCon on the surface won't be very different for us, but there's going to be something big missing - Ben Brode. One of Hearthstone's lead visionaries and fathers left the company earlier this year to found his own game studio with other ex-members of the Hearthstone team. Not only was one of the usual Hearthstone folk to tell us about the new expansion, but he was also responsible as the booming voice over the halls of BlizzCon.
Here's what you can expect this year that aren't so different.
- Announcement of Expansion during the Opening Ceremony.
- More details, including card reveals, during the dedicated "What's Next" panel.
- Details on any single player content they're adding in with the card set.
- Playable demo of the new single player content on the show floor.
There's also a couple of new things happening this year.
- An art panel where artists will showcase how they created the new card pack for this expansion.
- A panel talking about the past and future of Hearthstone solo adventures (likely additional, focused info on the new single player content).
Check out the full schedule of Hearthstone goodness over in our dedicated post.
What We Know So Far About Expansion 3
Not a whole lot! We do have a preview image of the theme though thanks to the Year of the Raven introduction from this past February.
- Expansion 1 showcased the trees of the Witchwood (which most, including us, thought we were going to Duskwood)
- Expansion 2 showcased The Netherstorm. No, Tempest Keep was not actually in store for us, it's just the home of Dr. Boom's Lab.
Expansion 3 is all over the place. We've got tribal-style markings that could be Troll themed (maybe even Orc?) and the middle contains what appears to be water, possible even a little bit of ice at the bottom left. The red rocks surrounding the "orb" in the center don't make any immediate connections unlike the Ethereal Gateway from Ex2 and roots from Ex1.
If I really wanted to go crazy with a guess, it would be something Pandaria themed thanks to the very natural, tranquil vibe the overall panel gives me. Come on Lorewalker Cho, let's go to your homeland and, hopefully, not make an absolute mess of it.
What do you think Expansion 3 will be?
So don't watch the solutions.
Maybe more new op cards for Druid
I missed adventures... New wings every week. meta changes everyweek based on which card is released . I really don't understand why blizzard decided to not do adventure anymore... I mean puzzle/ monster hunt are cool , still I miss adventures.
It looks like a water-logged plank of a ship. Gem in the middle looks sea-like as well.
I agree. The top part looks like worn-off paint from exposure to sun and water
It will be something that will make druid more powerful than ever before
come through underwater dinosaur orcish tribe realness

What about this
Where did you get this picture? The pack design is clearly troll related.
I still feel a very murloc-ish theme going on...
underwater set with fish and stuff would be pretty damn neat
Lol! Interesting...my previous has been censored. This thread ask what do you think the next expansion will be and I said that it would be more of the same....more Combo/OTK decks...more solitary decks, nothing to counter cancer decks. I also said that was not excited at all and that I would wait for the next rotation.
I am just giving my opinion about what to expect from the next expansion. Nothing offensive...just what I think... and I am posting this just out of curiosity to see if this one as well will be censored. If it is deleted I will gladly quit from this forum, because if this the kind of censorship being practised here then I don't want to have anything to do with such a website...if I get banned for saying what I am thinking about censorship....please be my guest. A bon entendeur salut!!
You weren’t censored, people did not agree with you and down voted you. When you get a lot of downvotes, it hides your comment but does not delete it. This is to hide spam, trolls, and other un-wanted messages.
Your previous post is not deleted, it was just downvoted so hard that it's not showing without you clicking "Click to Show Auto Hidden Content". If it would've been deleted for some reason, you wouldn't be able to see it in your profile page's Posts-section anymore.
Seems like dinosaurs again.. hmmm...
I wish more pandas for next expansion
Timbermaw Hold expansion confirmed.
Just give me Dragons and I'm ok with whatever the theme is.
So... Monk is a new hearthstone class?
Oh boy, it's time for Blizzard to troll us!
