Blizzard Entertainment announced Hearthstone‘s next expansion this morning: The Boomsday Project. It will launch for the PC and mobile digital card game on August 7.
The set and its 135 cards will be the first to focus on mechs since Hearthstone’s first expansion, Goblins & Gnomes, which was released in 2014. Hearthstone is the king of the digital card games market, and new expansions give players a reason to buy more packages. The set includes new mechanics, such as the Magnetic keyword. This will combine the cards to share statistics and powers.
The expansion also adds a new solo experience, The Puzzle Lab. Blizzard will reveal more info on this campaign later.
This is the second Hearthstone expansion of 2018. Blizzard groups these sets into themed years, with this being the Year of the Raven. We’ll have one more expansion later in 2018. Once the first expansion of 2019 comes out, we’ll see a Standard Rotation, which will make older sets ineligible in the game’s Standard modes.
Operating out of Boom Labs—a secret world-class facility located in the beautiful, purple-lightning wracked floating islands of Netherstorm near Area 52—the Boomsday Project is the brainchild of the renowned Dr. Boom. Once a researcher at Area 52, Dr. Boom struck out alone and became a rising star in the fields of Mech design and rapid catastrophic disassembly.
Dr. Boom is at the top of his field, and the time is ripe to tackle new challenges. Enter The Boomsday Project, a multi-disciplinary research endeavor that’s sure to change the world—forever! Somehow. His team is still working out the details. . . .
The Boomsday Project is an electrifying expansion for Hearthstone featuring 135 all-new cards coming August 7!
For a limited time after Boomsday arrives, log in to claim 3 card packs and a random Class Legendary minion (or Hero card)—both from the new expansion—for free!
