Whoa, don’t put down that Hearthstone-branded crack-pipe just yet, Blizzard have just confirmed that the Blackrock Mountain expansion to their ludicrously popular card battling game will arrive next week.
The expansion is set to go live on Windows PC, Mac, iPad and Android tablets on April 2nd in North American territories.
European, Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese folk on the other hand, will receive the expansion one day later on April 3rd.
Like the Naxxramas expansion before it, Blackrock Mountain will launch with a staggered roll-out of content, with Blackrock Depths being the first wing that players will get to experience.
To keep Hearthstone players further glued to the game, the Blackrock Mountain expansion pack also brings some 31 new cards to table, including such ones as the new Volcanic Drake, Drakonid Crusher and extremely powerful Nefarian cards.
So yeah, all the bad dragon folk basically.
As an added note, the previously issued Molten Core card is still available for purchase but if folks want to get it back, they’ve only got as long as the pre-purchase period for Blackrock Mountain, set to conclude on April 2nd.
Oh, and it costs £17.49 in real dosh too.
In case you’ve forgotten what the tone of Blackrock Mountain is (lots of dragons and hotness, basically), have a glance at the cinematic trailer for the expansion below.
