Hearthstone’s Goblins vs Gnomes expansion is on the way a little earlier than we originally expected; it’s set to drop next week.
That’s December 8 to be exact, or December 9 if you live in Australia. The date comes from a press release sent by developer Blizzard to various media outlets.
Goblins vs Gnomes adds an intimidating 120+ new cards, themed around the “epic rivalry between goblin engineers and their gnomish counterparts.” Expect both new characters and familiar faces from the Warcraft universe. You can take a sneak peak at what’s on offer here.
New cards can be earned in the Arena or bought with in-game gold or real money in the same manner as standard card packs.
“Goblins vs Gnomes is going to turn Hearthstone on its head,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO of Blizzard, at Blizzon last month. “It introduces a ton of new cards with all-new options for decks and strategies, and we can’t wait to see all the crazy combinations players come up with.”
