Expansion Reveal Stream Coming July 1, and a Note on Mercenaries
We've just got an unexpected announcement of an announcement for the upcoming expansion, which looks like an Alliance-themed one. Let us know about your theories in the comment section.
Mercenaries won't be ready in this expansion cycle, expect to hear more about Mercenaries this Fall.
Quote from BlizzardWith all that experience fighting Quilboar in the Barrens, heroes like you have leveled up! It’s time to replenish your bags, repair your armor, and prepare for a new quest. . .
Join us on July 1 at 9:30 a.m. PT, on either Twitch or YouTube, for the reveal of the next Hearthstone expansion! Lead Designer Alec Dawson will kick things off with an overview on what you can expect from Phase 2 of the Year of the Gryphon. From there, Game Designers Liv Breeden and John McIntyre will dive into what’s new in the upcoming card set. We also have some news to share for Battlegrounds. We’ve got plenty to talk about, you won’t want to miss it!
Separately, we know you’re eager to learn more about Hearthstone Mercenaries. While we’re very excited with how things are coming together, we need more time to implement all the awesome content we’ve planned for the mode. As such, we’re now expecting Hearthstone Mercenaries to be released in Phase 2 of the Year of the Gryphon and won’t be quite ready to share details on the mode during the stream on July 1.
Instead, we’ll be hosting a dedicated Hearthstone Mercenaries stream this Fall. We’ll give more details about this stream closer to its broadcast date. Until then, we hope you’ll enjoy the expansion reveal and all the things still to come in the Year of the Gryphon!
No it isn't.
Don't worry guys, this IS compatible with Windows 11 devices.
With this expansion I wish they bring back Tirion to the battlegrounds, at this point he is not even OP anymore just really good, probably, but I definetly can be wrong, like the new one that buff based on tavern tiers, and ofc some new minions to spicy things up for one or two weeks haha.
I love alliance.
I AM ALLIANCE!
but this video and its music is too childish... Alliance is about being a man!/woman!
Says the muflon.
I'll likewise add that, similar to the last many expansions, Blizzard will also unveil a card that the entire community will utterly freak out about and insist is going to break the game. A bunch of posters will announce "I'm quitting the game because of this card," only to post idiotic nonsense for the next several months about how screwed up the new expansion is. Once the expansion goes live, said card will be played for about a week until everyone realizes how crappy the card actually is. Those who freaked out will, of course, never admit that they were wrong and will move on to some other complaint.
This
It'll be a Demon Hunter card, as always
My guess is it will be Westfall-themed. It's about the same level as The Barrens, although not quite as iconic. Most significantly, it has one of the other iconic low-level dungeons, The Deadmines, which could make for the next mini-set, complete with a new Edwin legendary.
Paladin Hero Card with Silver Hand Recruit Synergy please? Like you have to at this point and make it balanced.
Make sure it's cluelessly an odd cost too. My Odd Paladin in Wild could be even better.
Paladin is probably still in Timeout after its multiple nerfs.
Announcement of an... announcement?
which is completely normal. Imagine if they just randomly started the e3 livestream without an announcement.
An Alliance expansion....so we can expect Horde associated classes to be atop the meta the way Paladin and Mage were for Barrens?
Mage seems to actualy be tied to Horde, their legendary is Blood Elf
Are you talking about the classes represented by the Horde races in the Mercenaries lore?
I don't think anyone at Bizzard thinks about it that way.
Blizzard literally said that it was like that before the barrens came out
guys dont worry, in this pic I covered every card that got released in this expansion trailer:
FOR THE ALLIANCE !!!
