The Grand Tournament transports brave
Hearthstone duelists to the frigid continent of Northrend,
where the heroes of the Argent Crusade once held a tournament to
coax out Azeroth’s greatest fighters—and prepare them to battle the
undead legions at the icy heart of the realm. The Lich King’s evil
has been vanquished, but that doesn’t mean the jousting has to stop
. . . the competitive atmosphere’s just a lot more playful (and a
bit warmer) than it used to be.
When rallying new recruits to their cause, players will notice
that some of these knights possess an all-new keyword—Inspire.
Minions with the Inspire keyword have a special ability that can
only be activated by using the Hero’s Power. This means that Hero
Powers now play an even greater role in strategy, as they can be
used to inspire some minions to reach their full potential in
battle by calling reinforcements, restoring health, and much more!
Players will want to use these minions wisely to give their play
the perfect boost!
Coming this August to PC, Windows, iOS, and Android™ tablets,
and mobile phones, The Grand Tournament card packs will be winnable
in Hearthstone’s Arena mode and purchasable with in-game gold or
real money at the same prices as Hearthstone’s other card packs.
Starting next week, anyone ready for battle can pre-purchase The
Grand Tournament card packs in a special 50-pack bundle, on any
platform, for a one-time price of $49.99 (one purchase per account)
up until release. Doing so will reward them handsomely with a
triumphant new card back . . . and the unbridled joy that can only
come from opening dozens of card packs when the Grand Tournament
begins.
