Hearthstone Expansion “Blackrock Mountain” Releasing on April 2nd

Several new cards, class cards and more on the way.

Blizzard Entertainment’s wildly addictive free to play collectible card battling game Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft will be receiving a new expansion with Blackrock Mountain. The expansion now has a release date – it will be out on April 2nd in North America and April 3rd in Europe, Korea, China and Taiwan.

It should be noted that like previous expansions, Blackrock Mountain is broken into different wings with each wing becoming available with each subsequent week. Blackrock Depths will be the first wing to be released when the expansion launches on April 2nd.

What will Blackrock Mountain add? Besides 31 new cards, new music and two new class cards for each of the classes, there will be a new board and new legendary encounters as well. Needless to say, you might want to take off for a bit next week (i.e. the entirety of next week).

Blackrock Mountain can be pre-purchased for $24.99/£17.49/€21.99. Stay tuned for more information when it releases.
