Blizzard entertainment has revealed The Great Dark Beyond, the newest expansion for Hearthstone, coming November 5
Hello dear friends. Hearthstone has celebrated its 10th anniversary this year, the game is going stronger than ever and we also have a community mod, supported by the developer, which makes it fully accessible to totally blind players like myself. So, today it is my honor to let you know that Blizzard entertainment has revealed the newest expansion for Hearthstone! The Great Dark Beyond is launching on November 5, 2024 and brings with it a lot of new and exciting changes.
If you want to know how I’m playing the game, I invite you to check out the official Hearthstone Access webpage here or also watch the video below.
Now, let’s return to the news of the day. This cosmic-themed expansion introduces 145 new cards, featuring a new minion type, Draenei, and a new keyword, Starship, which allows players to build and launch powerful ships during gameplay. The expansion also reintroduces the Spellburst mechanic and pits players against the demonic forces of the Burning Legion.
Story: Long ago, the distant planet Argus was attacked by the demonic Burning Legion. While most of Argus gave in to unholy promises of power, some brave souls escaped to the stars. These “exiled ones” now call themselves Draenei, and they need you to help them find a new home. Pilot your own Starship and explore the vastness between worlds in The Great Dark Beyond!
New keyword – Starship: The best way to explore The Great Dark Beyond is in a shining new Starship! Starships are marvels of magic and engineering, powered by sentient beings of pure energy. You’ll find Starship Pieces throughout The Great Dark Beyond that you can play as regular minions. But when they die, their stats and effects get added to your Starship. When you’re ready , hit the button to launch your Starship directly onto the board!
The Draenei: When their world was threatened by the Burning Legion, the Draenei escaped to the stars rather than giving in to demonic corruption. Draenei appear throughout The Great Dark Beyond as they search for their new home—help them find their way into your collection, as Hearthstone’s newest permanent minion type. The Draenei are a forward-looking people filled with hope , so many of them have effects that affect the next Draenei you play . They are led by the powerful Velen, who exemplifies all his people!
Spellburst keyword: Cosmic forces are bursting with energy in The Great Dark Beyond! Cards with the returning Spellburst keyword get an effect the first time you play a spell. Play your cards right for a well-timed surge in power!
As usual, Pre-purchase bundles, a special Tavern Brawl, and a login reward are available in the lead-up to launch. For even more details, visit the full announcement here.
I’ve been playing Hearthstone daily for almost 2 years now and have loved every second of it. The announcement of a new expansion is a big thing for Hearthstone fans and I can’t wait to discover strange new worlds and new civilizations in this latest interstellar adventure.
Happy gaming everyone!
