Second Hearthstone®: Heroes of Warcraft™
Adventure brimming with hot new cards and bosses
The first wing of Blackrock Mountain™, the fiery new Adventure
for Hearthstone®: Heroes of Warcraft™, has opened! Blackrock
Mountain pits players against a host of iconic hot-tempered foes
across five challenging, magma-packed wings. Players who can handle
the heat will be rewarded with a host of new cards to add to their
collection.
In Blackrock Mountain, Hearthstone players find themselves
amid a war between powerful forces battling for control of the
legendary mountain. Deep within the mountain’s core, duelists go
toe-to-toe against fierce minions, including Dark Iron dwarves,
fire elementals, and dragons, while facing off against legendary
menaces from the Warcraft® universe, such as Ragnaros the Firelord.
Card-slingers who extinguish these villains will reap a mighty
reward—31 scorching new cards inspired by the mountain and its
denizens, bringing a wealth of new tactical options to the
ever-evolving Hearthstone metagame.
“Adventure Mode challenges players to think outside of the box
and come up with creative new strategies,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO
and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “After the new bosses and
unique mechanics in Blackrock Mountain put their skills to the
test, we can’t wait to see how players use all the new cards in
their decks.”
The first wing of Blackrock Mountain—Blackrock Depths—opens
today, with one additional wing opening each of the following weeks
throughout April. Each of the Adventure’s five wings is available
for purchase separately for 700 gold or $6.99 per wing. For those
brave enough to take on the Mountain in its entirety, a complete
Blackrock Mountain bundle package is also available for $24.99.
Blackrock Mountain is available now in the Americas region for
Windows®, Mac®, iPad®, and Android™ and Windows 8 tablets, and will
be available April 3 in the Europe and Asia regions. Hearthstone:
Heroes of Warcraft and Blackrock Mountain are coming soon to mobile
phones. For more information, visit www.playhearthstone.com.
