Has it actually been three months for the reason that final Hearthstone enlargement? It feels prefer it was days in the past. The subsequent enlargement for Blizzard’s fashionable CCG can be Saviours Of Uldum, due on August sixth, and it appears like they’re doubling down on the Saturday morning cartoon antics of Rise Of Shadows. They’re unearthing the League Of Explorers from the now-defunct adventure and making them the celebs of the present for a number of months, and heading to fantasy Egypt to battle villainy. Below, a tongue-in-cheek announcement trailer, through which is nestled a particularly foolish theme music.
League Of Explorers would be the second chapter in Blizzard’s deliberate year-long story arc. As with Rise Of Shadows, it’ll simply be a card launch at first, with a (seemingly paid) solo journey coming in September. Among the twists this replace is the returning Quests rule, playing cards which helps you to set your self challenges which (if accomplished) give large rewards. Reborn minions are annoyingly hard-to-kill mummies that respawn with one well being after dying, and Plague playing cards are an indiscriminate board-clearing nuclear choice. Unless you will have a bunch of minions that gained’t keep useless – trace trace.
Among the playing cards revealed up to now, there’s a number of enjoyable ones. Supreme Archaeology is a quest card finest performed early within the game. Draw 20 playing cards whole and also you get the Tome Of Origination, a brand new Hero Power that allows you to draw a card and drop its mana value to zero. The problem is surviving lengthy sufficient to make use of it. The Puzzle Box Of Yogg-Saron is what I wish to name a table-flipper. Screw technique, screw ways, you’re simply rolling the cube and casting ten random spells at random targets and hope you find yourself damage a bit lower than the opposite participant. Hearthstone at its finest and worst in a single card.
Hearthstone: Saviours Of Uldum launches on August sixth. Blizzard can be asserting extra in regards to the solo marketing campaign quickly, however you may take a look at the expansion’s official page here for extra particulars on the playing cards introduced up to now.
