The Demon Hunter, Hearthstone’s first ever all-new class
since launch, arrives today, alongside Ashes of Outland. Suffused
with chaotic fel energy and capable of fearsome feats of soul
magic, the Demon Hunter’s unique playstyle encourages unbridled
aggression, with an emphasis on direct hero attacks and powerful
demon minions. The Demon Hunter class and corresponding Illidan
Stormrage Hero—as well as 30 of the class’s specially tailored
cards—are available free to all players who complete the
free four-part Demon Hunter prologue single-player campaign.
Ashes of Outland introduces a total of 135 new cards to the
game, including Primes, a new type of Legendary minion
designed to make a lasting impact on a match. In their initial
forms, Primes are strong, economical early-to-midgame minions; upon
leaving the board, they’re shuffled back into a player’s deck in a
vastly upgraded form. Players will also have to contend with
Imprisoned Demons. Initially “dormant” for two turns and
unable to attack or take damage, these powerful minions unleash
match-shifting effects once they’re activated.
The Year of the Phoenix
Commences
The Year of the Phoenix brings some of the biggest fundamental
changes that Hearthstone has seen to date (with more to come):
- Ranked Mode Overhaul—The new year kicks off with an
improved ranked play experience, including reworked matchmaking and
a fun progression system loaded with meaningful rewards.
- New and Returning Player Experience—New players who
ascend through the beginner ranks—as well as those returning to
Hearthstone after an absence—will receive a free competitive
deck of the class of their choice.*
- Improved Card Pack Experience—The popular “no duplicate
Legendaries” rule now applies across all card rarities. Players
will no longer receive more than two copies of any Common, Rare, or
Epic until they’ve acquired two copies of all cards of that rarity
in a set.
- Free Solo Adventure—Later in the expansion cycle, all
players will get a free Solo Adventure set in the shattered world
of Outland. Join the iconic Illidan Stormrage and his cadre of
elite Demon Hunters as they battle the dreaded Rusted Legion!
- Priest Class Overhaul—Big changes have come to the
Priest class to better accentuate its class identity. Six of the
class’s cards have moved into the Hall of Fame, with all-new ones
introduced in their place.
- Battlegrounds Updates—Hearthstone: Battlegrounds
continues to evolve in the Year of the Phoenix, starting with
Illidan’s recent arrival to the roster of playable heroes.
Players who log in to Hearthstone can complete a chain of quests
to earn a total of six card packs: three from Ashes of Outland, and
one each from Descent of Dragons™, Saviors of Uldum™, and Rise of
Shadows™. The first quest in the chain is available today, with the
second and third to follow on April 8 and 9. Furthermore, all
Hearthstone players get the Legendary minion Kael’thas free
if they log in between now and June 29.
Ashes of Outland is available today on Windows® and Mac® PCs;
Windows, iOS, and Android™ tablets; and mobile phones. Ashes of
Outland card packs are currently winnable in Hearthstone’s Arena
mode, and players can purchase them with in-game gold or real money
at the same prices as Hearthstone’s other card packs.
