Blizzard Entertainment announced today that the upcoming expansion for Hearthstone, Kobolds & Catacombs, will be launching on December 7th, 2017 (December 8th, 2017 for EU). The new expansion introduces the following:

  • Dungeon Runs, the free single player content for this expansion that is roguelike and replayable. This mode features 48 different possible encounters.
  • 135 New Cards
  • A New Keyword: Recruit
  • New card types: Spellstones and Unidentified Items
  • A Legendary Weapon for each of the 9 classes
  • A random Legendary Weapon card and 3 Kobolds & Catacombs card packs for free just for logging in after release

While I personally haven't logged into Hearthstone in a while, I do plan on logging in on launch day to get those 3 free packs. Anyone who pre-purchases 50 Kobolds & Caracombs card packs for $49.99 get a free FOR THE HOARD card back. To see some of the new cards check out Blizzard's Kobolds and Catacombs site.

In vaguely related news, Critical Role will be hosting a special Kobold themed episode on November 30th, at 7PM PST. Professional voice actor Matthew Mercer will lead a six member cast of voice actors through a tabletop roleplaying campaign that will take them deep into the Catacombs for a Kobold themed adventure!
