Blizzard announced today their brand new expansion back for Hearthstone – The Grand Tournament.
Like the previous installment, Goblins vs. Gnomes, the Grand Tournament will make new cards available for Hearthstone, mostly focused on the Argent Crusade tournament. And what is that tournament about? heroes who are competing against each other to see who can buy the most card packs. Speaking of new cards, Blizzard says there will be a grand total of 130 new cards!
Some of which you can take a look at below.
Some of the new cards have been announced with a new ability called Inspire. These cards have a special ability that can only be activated when using your Hero Power. The effects will of course vary according to the card, but it could range from getting extra attack bonuses to getting random spells into your hand.
This is what Blizzard says about the expansion:
When the Lich King and his undead Scourge threatened the world, the Argent Crusade called upon Azeroth’s mightiest heroes to prove their mettle in a magnificent tournament. Knights of all races flocked to Northrend, vying for glory in epic battles against fearsome monsters. Though the Lich King’s evil has been vanquished, the Grand Tournament continues… the competitive atmosphere’s just a bit more playful than it used to be.
The game is set for an August release, and is purchasable with either gold or real money like the last expansion. August isn’t too far off so help yourself to the trailer below.
