First Hearthstone®: Heroes of Warcraft™
expansion now live, featuring over 120 inventive new cards
Goblins vs Gnomes™, the explosive first expansion to Blizzard
Entertainment’s fast-paced online strategy card game Hearthstone®:
Heroes of Warcraft™, is available around the world beginning today!
Introducing more than 120 new cards—including an all-new type of
minion, Mechs—Goblins vs Gnomes opens up countless new strategic
possibilities for Hearthstone players of every skill level.
In celebration of the expansion’s release, Blizzard is offering
anyone who logs in to Hearthstone between the launch and December
19 three free Goblins vs Gnomes card packs—a triple-powered jolt of
mayhem to help players jump-start their collections.
“Goblins vs Gnomes throws a big wrench into the Hearthstone
works,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard
Entertainment. “Players are already having a blast coming up with
inventive new strategies and deck ideas—we’re looking forward to
seeing what happens now that they can put those plans into
action.”
Goblins vs Gnomes throws players in the middle of the epic
rivalry between Azeroth’s audacious goblin engineers and their
equally “adventurous” gnomish counterparts—and these pint-sized
tinkerers are ready to stir up trouble. Their incredible inventions
and mechanical monstrosities are marvelous to behold … but
when Hearthstone players deploy them in a duel, the results can be
quite unpredictable.
Goblins vs Gnomes card packs are available in-game now for gold
or real-world currency, priced the same as Expert card packs from
the original Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft set. Players can also
win Goblins vs Gnomes cards as rewards in the Arena or craft them
using Arcane Dust earned from disenchanting cards in their
collection.
Goblins vs Gnomes is available now in the Americas region for
Windows, Mac, and iPad®, and will be available December 9 in the
Europe and Asia regions. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft and
Goblins vs Gnomes are coming soon to Android tablet devices. For
