SHANGHAI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Hearthstone–Equip your dancing shoes and make sure you’re properly attuned, because
you’re invited to the hottest party in the Eastern Kingdoms! Blizzard
Entertainment today revealed One Night in Karazhan™—a brand-new
Hearthstone® Adventure that takes players inside Medivh’s tower,
Karazhan, for a truly enchanted experience. As Azeroth’s most powerful
mage, Medivh’s magical prowess is surpassed only by his love for
extravagant shindigs, and he has spared no expense to entertain his
cherished guests—lavish feasts, impeccable Opera performances, and more
await you inside.
“One Night in Karazhan will give players the chance to party with
Medivh while earning some great new cards for their collections,” said
Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re
excited to reimagine one of Azeroth’s most beloved locations in
Hearthstone, and we can’t wait to see players put their new decks to the
test.”
Once you arrive at the party, you’ll find that Medivh has gone
missing—and his collection of arcane objects is running amok throughout
the castle. It’s up to you and Moroes, Medivh’s trusted butler, to keep
the party under control and find your host, while still finding time to
enjoy the amenities! With a lineup of iconic characters to encounter,
everyone’s favorite enchanted chess board, and 45 groovy new cards to
add to your collection, One Night in Karazhan promises to be an
Adventure to remember.
The party starts August 11 on Windows® and Mac® PCs; Windows, iOS, and
Android™ tablets; and iOS and Android mobile phones, and the
four wings of One Night in Karazhan will open on a
weekly basis (one per week). One Night in Karazhan will be
available in the in-game shop in full for $19.99 USD, one wing at a time
for 700 gold or $6.99 USD each, or in discounted bundles based on the
number of individual wings already purchased. Upon release, all
Hearthstone players will be able to play a prologue mission free and
earn two of the Adventure’s new cards. In addition, players who purchase
the full Adventure during the first week of its release will receive a
special Karazhan-themed card back.
