Pre-Release Is Back for Rastakhan’s Rumble - And Rowdier Than Ever!
Open packs early by attending a pre-release party prior to the full release date on December 4!
Quote from BlizzardOpen your packs early and revel in some Fireside fun prior to the official launch of Rastakhan’s Rumble on December 4 by hosting your very own Pre-Release party!
King Rastakhan has decreed that Pre-Release Parties will not be limited events. Whether you’re an established innkeeper or you simply enjoy the company of your community, step up to the plate and host a public Pre-Release party. If you prefer the comforts of home, you can also enjoy the festivities by creating an unlisted event!
Rastakhan’s Rumble Pre-Release
In addition to digging into your packs early, you’ll also be able to participate in special Fireside Brawls that let you play with your shiny new cards before the expansion’s official release.
- In Rastakhan’s No Cards Barred brawl, you’ll be able to construct decks using the cards that you open during the Pre-Release event. There are no restrictions on class or duplicates in this one, so you can harness all the mayhem of the Gurubashi Arena!
- There’s also A Royal Recipe, a pre-constructed brawl that will have new deck recipes from the upcoming set for you to play with! You won’t need to have pre-purchased packs in order to play this brawl.
Maximize your Fireside Gathering experience by pre-purchasing your card packs for Rastakhan’s Rumble so you can enjoy both Pre-Release brawls!
Your newly-opened cards will be viewable in the Collection Manager, but they’ll only be playable at a Fireside Gathering prior to launch. You also won’t be able to disenchant or craft cards until the expansion’s official launch.
Host A Rastakhan’s Rumble Pre-Release Party
Kick things off by heading over to FiresideGatherings.com. Be sure to indicate if your event will be open to the public, or unlisted for just close friends and family. If you opted for a public event, hang tight while we process your admittance to the royal rumble registry! For those of you who want to host private Fireside Gatherings, detailed instructions are available here.
Once your event is approved, you can do any or all of the following:
- Share your event on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) with our nifty poster generator. If your event is private, download the poster and send it directly to friends you want to invite!
- Reach out to your local community to let them know
- Pre-purchase cards to maximize your Pre-Release experience
- Make sure you have enough chairs by the hearth (or seats in the Arena)!
- Enjoy the Rumble!
We can’t wait for you to try out the new cards, so look for a Pre-Release event closest to you and start rumbling. We’ll see you in the Tavern!
Seems like Boomsday's pre-release event occurred the weekend before launch. If the same is true here, look for the event to take place around December 1st-2nd.EDIT: Main site just updated with: "You can start planning your Pre-Release party now. Rastakhan's Rumble Pre-Release will run from 10AM PST on November 30 2018 to 10AM PST on December 3 2018."
For those who don't know
The fireside starts at 29th of November and ends at 3rd of December
Up vote this so all get this info
No.. it says that the expansion launches the 4th and you can open your packs before that if you go to a pre-release event. It doesn't say the pre-release events are happening the 4th.
Seems like a lot of people don't read.
You mean the blow back from 25.000.000 million players to 50.000.000 players? Or the blow back from 50 to 70 like last time?
Or the blow back from 70 to 100.000.000 players like yesterday?
I wish hosting Fireside Gatherings was a common thing in pubs around the world.
The game possibly needs a starter package for anybody to play straight away in such events, even if they are new players.
Kids u know...
But can we see some cards first?
It's dumb that this is what tournament mode died for and became. Just a platform for streams to get a return on their pre-order investments.
Also, Why are they delaying the release of the expansion so major steamers can get more views on their pack openings?
I think Blizzard isn't going to enjoy the blow back on that decision.
So this works only on Fireside Gatherings?
There is must be some mistake ,the release is on 4th December ,how is that possible for the pre-release to be in also the 4th December .
someone can explain .
"Open your packs early and revel in some Fireside fun prior to the official launch of Rastakhan’s Rumble on December 4 by hosting your very own Pre-Release party!"
thanks , i notice that after i post my comment .
Ehmm when is the release of the first cards ?
We have already some cards revealed. They will probably start their reveal schedule next week.
Ok, given the gif of the giant frog eating a troll in one gulp, there needs to be a high-cost Shaman frog with text "Can't attack. At the end of your turn, destroy an enemy minion."
So i can attend an event to PRE open my packs on Dec. 4th....
..... of an expansion that launches on Dec. 4th. Great!
Woops I think Team5 made a mistake somewhere.
