MMORPG Hearthstone Developer Interview: Expansion? "It’s going to be over 100 cards"

MMORPG.com Interviews Eric Dodds

MMORPG.com got to sit down and chat with Hearthstone Lead Designer, Eric Dodds, and inside of the interview, Eric let us know that we will be receiving over 100 cards in the next card set. Previously, Senior Game Designer, Mike Donais, said that the expansion would feature "not exactly 100 cards, but it's a lot".

Quote from Eric Dodds

It was recently revealed that the next set of cards will come out as part of a new booster pack. How many cards are we looking at? What sort of breakout can we expect in terms of new class cards vs. neutral cards? Anything you’re willing to spoil at this point?

Still working on the details of that. I mean, it’s going to be over 100 cards and it’s certainly going to be very different from Naxxramas, which was designed to put a smaller number of cards into play, because we don’t want to create this large number of cards, not overwhelm players, but at the same time, with this new expansion, we want to provide a large number of cards with additional options for the hardcore. So, exactly what those cards are and exactly what those ratios are, partially we’re still working on ‘em, and partially we’ll be talking about that in the future.

Other than that, Dodds touched on spectator mode still being worked on, Naxxramas being a success with some exceptions when it came to certain class challenges, and further confirmation that they are not considering a tenth Hearthstone Hero at this time.
