Next Hearthstone Expansion Takes Players To Stormwind

The next expansion for Blizzard’s 2014 card game Hearthstone has been announced, taking its players to the heart of the Alliance in United in Stormwind. Hearthstone continues to remain popular 7 years on from release thanks to its continued support from Blizzard, with the game receiving the Hearthstone Core Set earlier this year; a collection of free cards aimed towards making the game more accessible for new and returning players.

The last expansion for the game, titled Forged In The Barrens, was released earlier this year in March 2021, and marked the beginning of the Year of The Gryphon in Hearthstone. Taking place in the Barrens, an area controlled by the Horde, the expansion also lets players experience various Horde cities such as Crossroads and Ratchet.

Blizzard has announced 2021’s second expansion for Hearthstone, titled United in Stormwind, with pre-purchase already available and a release date of August 3. As the name suggests, the upcoming expansion will be Alliance-themed, taking players to the faction’s capital, Stormwind. This will include 135 new cards, with each class receiving a new three-part Questline, the completion of which rewards the player with a Legendary minion. As with every expansion, a keyword is used, with the upcoming keyword being “Tradeable.” Tradeable cards in a player’s deck can either be used regularly, or placed back into the deck in order to draw another card, at the cost of 1 mana. United in Stormwind will also see the addition of the Mount spell, a buff which will provide a minion with a mount, with the added bonus of the steed being summoned to join the battle after its rider is killed.

The expansion will also introduce passives called Profession Tools, which will be equippable to the weapon slot. Unlike other weapons, Profession Tools are not used to attack, but rather activate when the conditions for the card are met. For example, the Paladin’s Prismatic Jewel Kit will trigger whenever a friendly minion loses their Divine Shield, boosting the power of all minions in the player’s hand. A major Hearthstone Battlegrounds update is also expected to accompany the expansion’s release, and will see the most significant changes to the minion pool since Hearthstone came out. While players wait for the expansion’s release, the Fire Festival will be returning to keep fans busy from July 6 to July 27, and will feature new Legendary quests, plus new chapters from the Book of Mercenaries: Kurtrus, and the Book of Heroes: Gul’dan.

The Year of the Gryphon continues to be jam packed with new features and cards that will undoubtedly change up the way Hearthstone is played. Fans of the Alliance will likely be extra excited for United in Stormwind, after the previous Horde-centric expansion saw them visiting enemy territory.
