Blizzard has officially announced the next Hearthstone expansion of this year. The new expansion is called Voyage to the Sunken City and will be arriving on April 12th.
Players will join an intrepid group of explorers on an expedition to the ancient city of Zin-Azshari, lost beneath the waves for over 10,000 years. New and returning adventurers will experience a beautiful yet terrifying world as they utilize deck-altering keywords and powerful new cards to use in battle against dreaded new minions to survive the Sunken City!
There will be 135 new cards in this expansion, with a new minion type and two new keywords that will allow Hearthstone players to utilize their deck in new and interesting ways:
- New Minion Type: Naga – Destroyed by their thirst for power and cursed for all eternity, the vengeful Naga are a new minion type coming with this expansion and becoming a permanent addition to Hearthstone. The Naga are a spell-focused minion type that tend to give bonuses for playing one or more spells while the Naga are in your hand.
- New Keyword: Dredge – Don’t you hate it when the one card you need is at the very bottom of your deck? Not any more! Dredge is a new keyword that lets you look at the bottom three cards of your deck and pick one to bubble up to the top. You can combine these Dredge cards with new Azsharan cards that send a powerful “Sunken” card to the bottom of your deck. Whether it’s sunken treasures, your cool new Legendary, or a well-timed burn spell, Dredge can help you get just what you need.
- New Keyword: Colossal – The ocean depths are home to many massive monsters unlike anything you’ve seen before. These giant creatures are too big to fit on one card! Minions with the Colossal keyword come with extra appendages that synergize with their main body in powerful ways. These appendages are summoned with the main body, even if the Colossal wasn’t played from hand.
Pre-purchase is now available for Voyage to the Sunken City. If you’re new to Hearthstone, The Mega Bundle is available to kickstart your collection. The bundle includes 80 Voyage to the Sunken City card packs, two random Voyage to the Sunken City Legendary cards, the Queen Azshara Mage hero skin, the Azshara card back, 5 Mercenaries Packs, and Battlegrounds Perks.
