Hearthstone Expansion Knights of the Frozen Throne Arrives In August
Get ready for the Lich King, Northrend, and all new card types and mechanics! Hearthstone's next expansion, Knights of the Frozen Throne, arrives in August with 135 new cards and free single-player campaign content, complete with legendary rewards.
The campaign spans a prologue, two wings, three bosses, and an epic showdown against the Lich King (Although I'm sure WoW players are wondering which Lich King we'll be facing here!).
Each class can pick up a legendary Hero Card in this set (example below). Cards like this turn your hero into a Death Knight by "taking over" their portrait and giving them access to new abilities, much like Jaraxxus does in the current game.
That's not all! Perfect for all the frosty fun, the new mechanic lifesteal allows you to leech back life from dishing out damage (and a really handy low cost priest spell fielding the ability has already been revealed, check it out below!)
Check out some new cards below and get ready to stay frosty!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
