Blizzard is sticking to the Hearthstone trading card game and has now announced the next add-on for the summer. We’ll tell you what to expect in “United in Stormwind”.
With “United in Stormwind” the next major add-on to the Hearthstone trading card game is in the starting blocks. Blizzard Entertainment has now announced the expansion for August 3, 2021, so the more than 130 million players around the world don’t have to wait too long.
The add-on brings a total of 135 brand new cards that were inspired by the first steps of the heroes of the alliance stronghold Sturmwind. Also new are quest line cards for each class, which let you immerse yourself in the stories of the new mercenaries from the year of the griffin. You start a match with your Quest Line cards in hand and gain powerful effects when you complete the challenges. As soon as you have mastered the third phase of a quest series, the mercenary joins you as a legendary servant.
To take part in trading in Stormwind itself, you can now pack cards with the keyword “Tradable” in your decks. Tradable cards grant powerful effects in certain situations and can be exchanged for another card in the deck for just one mana.
The professional skills from World of WarCraft are represented in Hearthstone as professional tools, which can be equipped like weapons and unlock skills. The Prismatic Jeweler’s Set for Paladins, for example, strengthens servants in your hand every time a servant friend loses God’s shield. And last but not least, there are also new mount cards that can be played as buff effects for servants.
As usual, the add-on can again be purchased in advance as a mega package for 79.99 dollars. In this way you ensure:
- 80 card packs from “United in Stormwind” – as well as 5 gold card packs (which only contain gold cards)
- two random golden legendary cards from “United in Stormwind”
- the alternative heroine Lady Katrana Prestor
- the back of the card Lady Katrana Prestor
- Hearthstone Battleground Mode bonuses that will remain in effect until the next expansion
- the alternate bartender Ve’nari for the Hearthstone battlefield mode
For 49.99 dollars there is a smaller package with 60 card packs of the expansion, two random legendary cards and the Lady Katrana Prestor card back. You can still play Hearthstone for free and earn packs of the add-on little by little by simply playing.
Incidentally, the battlefield mode will also receive innovations as part of the add-on, including the largest of its kind on the servants since the release of this game mode.
