Hearthstone Expansion Goblins vs Gnomes Announced

by on November 8, 2014
 

Blizzard have revealed that the 120+ card expansion to Hearthstone, Goblins and Gnomes, will launch this December.

These cards focus on the creative habits and explosive tenancies of the two titular factions.

To this end cards will sometimes have unpredictable effects, for better or worse, potentially leading to some curious new tactics.

Blizzard did state during a Q&A session at Blizzcon 2014 that old cards are still designed to be completely viable, and that these new cards are meant to add to the existing game.

Coming this December to PC and iPad, Goblins vs Gnomes card packs will be winnable in the game’s Arena mode and purchasable with in-game gold or real-money at the same price as standard card packs. Specific details on launch timing will be announced in the weeks ahead.

Blizzard also revealed that Hearthstone will be available on Android Tablets very soon.

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
