A Chinese site has likely already leaked the next Hearthstone expansion. It is set in Icecrown!
Tonight at 4:00 AM our time, the next expansion for Hearthstone is set to be announced, which will go live in August 2017. However, it has become a good old Hearthstone tradition that a leak regarding the expansion comes to light beforehand – almost always from China.
This time, the official Chinese Hearthstone site is to blame and has already published a graphic showing the next expansion.
This new expansion is roughly translated as “Knights of the Frozen Throne” – So “The Knights of the Frozen Throne”.
The leaked image shows Icecrown as well as the sword Frostmourne – the blade of the Lich King Arthas, with which he raises his undead minions.
Hearthstone: Knights of the Frozen Throne – Are Death Knights Coming?
The artwork is particularly interesting as it depicts several known heroes – albeit as servants of the Scourge! In the background, various hero classes can be seen, but with the blue eyes of the undead minions.
Fans are once again filled with hope that Blizzard will finally implement a tenth class into the game: the Death Knight. After all, which expansion would be better suited than one that deals with the Lich King and his knights?
Of course, it is possible that this whole thing is a fake. However, history has shown us: Usually, these Chinese leaks are accurate.
What do you think of this leak? Does it ruin your anticipation for the game? Are you now really hyped? Or does an Icecrown expansion leave you “cold”?
Which new cards there are, you can read on our site tomorrow morning – or you can stay awake all night and watch the livestream.
