Tombs of Terror follows the events of the previous Solo
Adventure, The Dalaran Heist. Players will step into the well-worn
boots of the League of Explorers, Hearthstone’s heroic ensemble of
adventuring archaeologists, and race through the cities and ruins
of Uldum defeating unique foes to acquire all-new hero-specific
signature treasures. These story-rich artifacts will “level
up” our heroes before they face the four deadly Plague
Lords—grueling multi-phase slugfests against persistent bosses
who must be defeated across multiple runs.
Never fear, as no task is too daunting for the League of
Explorers! Fully voice-acted and featuring a customizable loadout
comprising unique Hero Powers and multiple deck options,
Hearthstone’s first-ever dual-class heroes will present
players with never-before-explored gameplay possibilities:
- Elise Starseeker, the Enlightened, ventures forth from
her library armed with centuries of knowledge as well as the
restorative magic of a Priest and the ferocity of a
Druid.
- Dino-tamer Brann Bronzebeard unites the bravery and
fortitude of a Warrior with the marksmanship and animal
kinship of a Hunter.
- Sir Finley Mrrglton of the Sands, a sophisticated
gentle-murloc, rallies a Paladin’s knightly valor with the
tribal Shaman powers of his amphibious brethren.
- Reno Jackson, Relicologist, is a treasure-hunting
Rogue with a heart of gold who has picked up enough mystic
mumbo jumbo on his adventures to haphazardly sling Mage
spells.
“We’ve always carried a torch for the classic dungeon crawl and
with Tombs of Terror, we set out to create our deepest and most
replayable Solo Adventure yet,” said J. Allen Brack, president of
Blizzard Entertainment. “With so many new deckbuilding options to
unlock for the dual-class heroes and all of the signature treasures
to acquire, we hope players love exploring the Tombs of Terror
again and again.”
Punch Your Ticket to the Tombs
Tombs of Terror’s first chapter, the Lost City of the Tol’vir,
will be available completely free to everyone on September
17, and pits Reno Jackson against the Plague Lord of Murlocs.
Chapters II, III, and IV each feature another playable dual-class
League of Explorers hero and will be released, one at a time, in
the weeks following launch. Defeating all four powerful Plague
Lords will unlock a pulse-pounding final battle for the fate of the
world. Individual chapters can be unlocked for 700 in-game gold (or
$6.99 USD) each or all at once in a $14.99 USD launch bundle.
Players may also choose to pre-purchase the Tombs of Terror
Deluxe Adventure Bundle (on sale today and available for a limited
time*) that includes the full experience, as well as a random
Legendary card from Saviors of Uldum and a League of
Explorers-themed card back, for $19.99 USD.
Great risks yield even greater rewards: players who brave the
Tombs of Terror can earn 3 Saviors of Uldum card packs for
completing each chapter and the final encounter—15 Saviors of Uldum
card packs in total—an additional golden Classic pack for clearing
all four chapters, and unique card backs for finishing the entire
Adventure in the normal and Heroic modes.
