Accidental Hearthstone Leak Reveals All Upcoming Expansion Cards

Key Takeaways

  • Blizzard accidentally leaked all cards from The Great Dark Beyond, the new Hearthstone expansion.
  • The upcoming expansion introduces a new keyword, Starship, and brings back the Spellburst keyword.
  • Two bundles are available for purchase until the release date, showing Blizzard’s commitment to the game’s future.

As a seasoned Hearthstone player with over a decade of experience under my belt, I must admit that the latest leak of The Great Dark Beyond expansion has left me both amused and intrigued. It’s like being a kid on Christmas Eve, only to find out Santa accidentally left the presents under the tree early!

Unintentionally, Blizzard divulged all the cards from the forthcoming The Great Dark Beyond, the next expansion for Hearthstone. Soon, gamers will be treated to a new set of cards, gameplay mechanics, and familiar ones in another Hearthstone expansion. The goal is to revamp the card game’s strategy (meta) and maintain player interest.

In the present, Hearthstone’s Standard format is being played during the Year of the Pegasus, commencing in March this year and concluding in 2025 on a future date yet to be announced. As part of the ongoing cycle, developers rolled out the first expansion, Whizbang’s Workshop, in March, introducing 145 new cards and the Miniaturize ability. Subsequently, in July, Hearthstone introduced Perils in Paradise, its 27th expansion that added another 145 cards and the Tourist keyword. Now, enthusiasts of Blizzard’s card game are eagerly awaiting the next step.

It was announced that the latest expansion, “The Great Dark Beyond,” was coming, but unfortunately, all its cards were inadvertently leaked. A post on Resetera suggests that this happened due to a legendary card called Avatar of Hearthstone, which Blizzard gave away as part of the release of patch 30.6 and the celebrations for Hearthstone’s 10th anniversary. After players received this card, they found that they could see all the Great Dark Beyond cards in their collection without having to craft them. Consequently, pictures of the entire collection started spreading on social media, with people discussing the incident and the newly unveiled cards.

New Hearthstone Expansion Explores the Lore of Another Blizzard Franchise

On November 5th, “The Vast Unknown Realm” makes its appearance and delves into the space identical to that of “World of Warcraft.” This will introduce a fresh batch of 145 cards, a novel keyword for “Hearthstone” enthusiasts, Starship, and reintroduce the Spellburst keyword. As this expansion is launched, developers will permanently incorporate a new minion category called Draenei, as well as three fresh demon cards, one of which is Legendary. Players logging in will also receive the Legendary minion Nexus-Prince Shaffar, which can be claimed upon the release of patch 31.6 when they open their first “Great Dark Beyond” pack.

The excitement for the game “Great Dark Beyond” doesn’t end there, as from now until November 5, Hearthstone players can acquire two different bundles. The Mega Bundle offers 80 card packs, 10 gold card packs, extra content like a randomly selected Legendary signature card and a golden Legendary. In contrast, the standard bundle includes 60 card packs from the upcoming expansion, 2 random Legendaries, and the Prophet Velen back card. This clearly demonstrates that Blizzard is continuing its efforts to ensure another 10 years of Hearthstone gameplay for players.
