The Un’Goro expansion for Hearthstone did not receive a theme song. The Game Director stepped in and created a piece himself.
With the announcement of a new expansion for Hearthstone, certain expectations from players arise. Not only are exciting new mechanics and cards desired, but also an interesting cinematic – with a cool song. “Journey to Un’Goro” breaks with Hearthstone’s tradition of presenting a song with each expansion that introduces the new content.
On Reddit and in the official forum, players have voiced their complaints loudly. Without an appropriate title song, Un’Goro would be a significantly worse expansion, regardless of the cards and mechanics yet to come.
Ben Brode, the Game Director of Hearthstone, could not let that slide and quickly grabbed the microphone to write his own song for the expansion. He soon released the piece on YouTube – and the community is thrilled.
As some viewers noted in the comments, the perfect speed for the song would probably be 1.5x (which can be adjusted in the options). It didn’t take long before someone overlayed the song onto the cinematic. It may not match exactly with the visuals shown, but there are nonetheless some happy hits.
Since the song is only “unofficially” part of the new expansion, there is consequently no German translation – after all, it’s just a pretty cool gag.
