We can’t wait for players to experience the story and to get their hands on the free Legendary Death Knight Hero Card that we give away after the prologue!Īround the launch of the previous expansion the meta at all levels was seeing experimentation on a scale like never seen before in Hearthstone, will Knights of the Frozen Throne spur something similar? When we were trying to figure out the best way to bring it all together, we had this idea…what if we killed all the heroes, and they came back as Death Knights? The timing for this story fit perfectly with our new plan to do full 135 card expansions along free single play missions. We’ve wanted to do something involving the Lich King, and Death Knights, for quite some time.

What is the vision behind Knights of the Frozen Throne? With the expansion launching on August 10, featuring over 130 new cards and multiple new ways to shake up the Hearthstone meta, read on to find out more about how this expansion will shape Hearthstone’s future.

We recently had the chance to speak with the developer and design team at Blizzard Entertainment behind the upcoming expansion for Hearthstone, Knights of the Frozen Throne.
