The first expansion to Blizzard’s free card game Hearthstone, “Curse of Naxxramas” will begin on July 23, Blizzard has just announced.
After it became clear that Naxxramas would not be released this week, but Blizzard confirmed that the release is still planned for July, only July 23 and July 30 remained as possible dates. Blizzard has now decided on July 23 in a statement.
It should be noted that on July 23 only the first wing of Naxxramas, the Arachnid Quarter, will open. The four other wings will open at intervals of one week. If everything goes according to plan, the schedule looks like this:
On July 23, the Arachnid Quarter opens; access to this will be free for one month; you can expect the Crypt Lord Anub’Rekhan, the Grand Widow Faerlina, and the giant spider Maexxna.
On July 30, it goes to the Plague Quarter with Noth the Plaguebringer, Heigan the Unclean, and – everyone’s favorite – Loatheb.
On August 6, you take your stand in the Military Quarter and get inspected by Instructor Razavious, take on Goth the Harvester, and check in on the Four Horsemen.
On August 13, players will face the following monstrosities in the Construct Quarter: Patchwerk, Grobbulus, Gluth, and Thaddius. Hopefully, they just want to play.
And on August 20, you will finally deal with Sapphiron and Kel’Thuzad himself in the Frostwyrm Lair.
