Join the Expedition! The League of Explorers™ Coming to Hearthstone® November 12
Mystery and wonder await in new Adventure, featuring 45 all-new cards
ANAHEIM, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Grab your hat and torch; it’s time to go exploring! Today at
BlizzCon®, Blizzard Entertainment revealed The League of Explorers™—a
brand-new Adventure that sends brave duelists far and wide on harrowing
expeditions to recover a mysterious lost relic. The newest addition to
Hearthstone’s Adventure Mode, The League of Explorers will
pit adventurers against dastardly villains in fierce encounters that
will require unique strategies to conquer. And yes, there might be
serpents.
“League of Explorers is a fun mix of memorable locations from
Warcraft and exciting new locations to battle through,” said Mike
Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Players who join
the expedition are in for a good time and will walk away with some great
new cards for their collections.”
The League of Explorers introduces four intrepid
adventurers—Elise Starseeker, Reno Jackson, Sir Finley Mrrgglton, and
Brann Bronzebeard—and invites players to join their journey through a
series of exotic destinations, some familiar and some new, to recover an
artifact of immense power. These brave explorers will face many perils
as they navigate through the Temple of Orsis, Uldaman, the Ruined City,
and the Hall of Explorers in hopes of discovering lost artifacts that
will lead them closer to the relic. Escaping giant boulders and emerging
from all of the locations in one piece will reward adventurers with a
combined total of 45 treasured new cards, bringing a slew of new tactics
to the game.
Available for exploration starting November 12 on Windows® and Mac® PCs;
Windows, iOS, and Android™ tablets; and iOS and Android
mobile phones, the four League of Explorers locations will open
on a weekly basis (one per week) over the course of a month, with a
one-week break in the middle during the Thanksgiving holiday. The
League of Explorers can be purchased in full for $19.99 USD, one
location at a time for 700 gold or $6.99 USD each, or in discounted
bundles based on the number of individual locations already purchased.
