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!
Lordaeron with Scarlet Monastery mini-set?
One can hope
or rather the Stockade or Stormwind with Deadmines beeing used already (vanCleef) but Hogger also already in game.all been said alreadyNot if it's Alliance themed. Unless it's a 'way back when...' Lordaeron.
Won't be, this is suppoused to continue the stories of the Book of Mercenaries, and Lordaeron has already fallen in the Book of Mercenaries campaign timeline.
cant be lordaeron, the crest on the shield is of Stormwind
I thought they will use kinda more epic sountrack to introduce new expansion. I could imagine track "What makes us strong " in launch with Battle of Azeroth in wow.
Already recycling the fanfare and 'HEY-HEY-HEY' from Scholomance, huh?
that's definetely a different voice than the one in the Scholomance trailer.
This Trailer makes Alliance look like Kindergarten, wtf? Also funny that they use those "Spear beat" from the Forsaken from the "Reckoning" Trailer. In the Trailer it was super epic, but here it just looks kinda dumb tbh:D
If this is the first time you noticed Hearthstone turning Warcraft content in to a kindergarten edition you haven't really been paying attention since the release of The Grand Tournament back in 2015 (:
I played during TGT, but I think this Trailer is just next level hahaha
This is just a tease. Not the official trailer tho.
This more childish than TGT?
Man I think we saw two different TGTs you and me...
well, you just don't like it and I'm ok with that. I actually like the lighthearted/childish behaviour in Hearhtstone. In fact I don't like it when they refuse to use some jazzy song or something.
I see a lot of people predicting Westfall and Stockades, but Barrens was massive land-wise. More comparable is the whole area of Westfall, Duskwood, and Elwyn…maybe also Redridhe. There’s a better range of environments and characters to choose from.
And instead of stockade, maybe Deadmines. More iconic, more bosses…but know they’ve used a few (Sneed and VC) from there aleeady but I’d rather see those again than a third Hogger for stockades.
or maybe elwynn, redridge and westfall is the expansion and duskwood is the mini.
I mean the landmass doesn't need to be comparable.
A mini-expansion about the stockades provides lots of material to pull from. Same with Stormwind City itself.
There'll probably still be cards that refer to things outside of the city (especially with rogue) but I imagine that's where the focus'll be.
"Mercenaries won't be ready in this expansion cycle, expect to hear more about Mercenaries this Fall."
Mmmm.
So sad :(
Since the last set was Wailing Caverns (a horde-centric dungeon) and with this teaser... well, assuming you can even call it a teaser... I'm guessing it'll be related to the under utilized Stormwind Stockades dungeon. Just think, we'll be able to get such legendary characters as legendary class cards like...
*reads through wowpedia to refresh his memory*
Randolph Moloch! Lord Overheat! Warden Thelwater! And Hogger 2.0!
That would be cool
this is a lordaeron shield
