The next expansion for Hearthstone finally has a release date. The release of Kobolds and Catacombs is much earlier than expected!
At BlizzCon 2017, the upcoming expansion for Hearthstone was already presented in detail. In the following weeks, more and more card reveals followed. However, Blizzard had not yet announced a fixed date for the release of Kobolds & Catacombs. That has now changed!
Kobolds and Catacombs – Release next week
As Blizzard announced on Twitter, the new expansion Kobolds and Catacombs will go live in America on December 7th. For us, it will probably happen late at night on December 8th.
Kobolds and Catacombs will add a total of 135 new cards to the game. Once all cards have been revealed, we will publish a post with all the cards.
Apart from the 135 new cards for the multiplayer mode, there is also an extensive single-player mode this time. In the dungeon, players can face 48 different bosses, which are randomly generated each time. Through rewards after each match, the player’s deck grows throughout the “dungeon runs”. Particularly powerful treasures that grant passive bonuses provide a unique gameplay experience each time.
At the launch of the new expansion, Blizzard is generous. As soon as Kobolds and Catacombs goes live, all players who log in on the first day will receive three free card packs. In addition, there is one of the legendary weapons included, but for a randomly selected class.
Three more packs can be earned by all players in the dungeon, as the first three (successful) dungeon runs will also reward each with one pack.
Until the release date, all interested parties can pre-order 50 card packs at the reduced price of 50 Euros in the shop. This also guarantees an additional card back, which is exclusive to pre-order customers.
