Hearthstone Championship Tour event in Shanghai, Blizzard announced its next expansion for the digital card game: Knights of the Frozen Throne.
As with most major Hearthstone expansions, it will add 135 new cards to the game, but this marks the first time in the game’s history where Blizzard has released two full-size expansions in a row. Previously, the developer has split up major expansions with smaller “adventure” sets that added around 40 cards each.
As announced earlier this year, Blizzard is doing away with the concept of stand-alone, paid adventure sets. Instead, beginning with Knights of the Frozen Throne, every expansion will include free single-player missions of the variety that used to exist in those adventures.
Blizzard says the Knights of the Frozen Throne single-player content will include two wings of three boss fights each, along with a prologue and a final boss fight. For each wing players complete (including the final boss), they will earn a free Knights of the Frozen Throne card pack, for a total of three packs.
With all the new cards, Blizzard is introducing two major new mechanics to the game. First off, cards can now have a new keyword: lifesteal. Whether it’s on a spell, a weapon or a minion, cards marked with lifesteal will heal the player who used them for any damage dealt.
