In Hearthstone the first packs of the new expansions are already being distributed – even though they cannot be opened yet.
There are still a few weeks until the release of the next expansion “Journey to Un’Goro”, but in Hearthstone, you can already play for the first packs of the next addon.
To secure the pack, you only need to complete a round of the current Tavern Brawl. This week, it is the well-known “Crossroads Encounter”, where only one class needs to be selected. The game will then automatically create a deck with appropriate cards and pit you against another player under the same conditions.
Usually, there are only “Classic Packs” in the Tavern Brawl, but this week Blizzard seems to be making an exception to prepare players a bit for the new expansion.
When is the release of the next expansion “Un’Goro?” Early or mid-April?
However, the pack cannot be opened immediately; instead, it waits under the menu item “Open Packs” for the early April, when the expansion is supposed to go live – even if the game currently says “mid-April”. Ben Brode has already clarified this in a post on Twitter.
In the coming days, the Hearthstone team plans to introduce all cards from the new expansion.
By the way, prices are going up in Hearthstone – packs will become more expensive.
