Unearth 135 new cards from Azeroth’s deepest dungeons in the latest
expansion for Blizzard Entertainment’s internationally acclaimed digital
card game
Brave adventurers can now embark on single-player Dungeon Runs for an
endlessly replayable, escalating challenge that’s completely free to all
players—no prebuilt decks required
IRVINE, Calif.–Eager adventurers can now set out in search of Legendary Weapons,
mysterious treasures, and 135 alluring new cards hidden deep underground
in Kobolds & Catacombs™—the latest expansion for Hearthstone®,
Blizzard Entertainment’s smash-hit digital card game.
Kobolds & Catacombs takes Hearthstone players into the
bowels of Azeroth, where the dastardly kobolds have been boring tunnels
for thousands of years and hiding away scores of ancient treasures. Hearthstone
players will discover powerful new cards among these riches, including a
Legendary Weapon for each class—one of which everyone who logs in to Hearthstone
starting today will receive free. Rumors also speak of mighty Spellstones,
magical jewels for each class whose effects grow in power throughout a
match. Ever-wary of greedy adventurers’ plots to liberate their
hoards, the kobolds have lured terrible monsters and laid deadly traps
to help protect them. Luckily, adventurers don’t have to go it alone. By
playing cards with the new Recruit keyword, players can summon
random minions directly from their decks, opening the door for entirely
new approaches to deckbuilding.
The deadliest hazards of all await players in Kobolds & Catacombs’ new
and completely free single-player mode: Dungeon Runs.These
high-stakes subterranean adventures are inspired by the iconic fantasy
dungeon crawl, and they’re never the same experience twice. Those brave
enough to embark on these challenges can earn three free Kobolds &
Catacombscard packs by completing a series of introductory quests.
Players who complete a full Dungeon Run with all nine classes will also
earn the “Candle King” card back—indisputable proof that they’ve
mastered one of Hearthstone’s most daunting challenges yet.
“Kobolds & Catacombs harkens back to the type of old-school
fantasy-gaming experience that many of us at Blizzard and in the
community grew up on,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard
Entertainment. “We think players are going to love the new cards and
testing their mettle in Dungeon Runs, and we can’t wait to see how deck
strategies evolve with the new mechanics we’ve added with this set.”
Kobolds & Catacombs is available now for Windows® and Mac®
PCs; Windows, iOS, and Android™ tablets; and iOS and Android phones.
Card packs can be purchased individually or in discounted bundles from
the in-game Shop for gold or real-world currency at the same price as
all other Hearthstone card packs. Players now have the chance to
win Kobolds & Catacombs card packs as quest rewards or prizes
in the Arena, and can also craft cards from the expansion by using
Arcane Dust collected from disenchanting unwanted cards.
For a limited time, players who log in to Hearthstone will
receive three free Kobolds & Catacombs card packs to
celebrate the launch of the expansion—in addition to the ones earned
from the introductory Dungeon Run quests.
