Hearthstone players, get ready to embark on an extraordinary journey as Blizzard Entertainment announces the arrival of its latest expansion, "The Great Dark Beyond," set to launch on November 5, 2023! This adventurous update plunges you deep into the cosmic adventures of the Draenei, who are fleeing the malevolent Burning Legion while seeking a new home across the stars.

Explore the Stars with a Starship!

One of the most thrilling additions to this expansion is the introduction of the new keyword: *Starship*. Players will now have the thrilling opportunity to construct their own Starships! Encounter various Starship Piece minions throughout your gameplay. When these minions are defeated, their stats and effects can be fused into your Starship creation. Once your vessel is ready, launch it onto the board for only 5 Mana. The more pieces you collect before launch, the mightier your Starship will be!

Notably, six classes feature exclusive Starship cards: the Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock—each presenting unique artwork and names that reflect their class's identity.

Meet the New Draenei Minions!

In the heart of this expansion, players will encounter the Draenei, the noble exiles from their homeworld who now seek sanctuary from the relentless Burning Legion. The Draenei minions are Hearthstone's newest permanent minion type, embodying themes of hope and unity. Notable leader Velen stands tall as a symbol of resilience and power, guiding the Draenei on their quest and offering unique synergies with other Draenei cards in play.

Harness the Power of Spellburst!

Returning in this expansion is the *Spellburst* keyword, which allows players to trigger unique effects the first time a spell is cast in a turn. This mechanic invites players to strategize their spellcasting for maximum impact and explosive combos, promising a thrilling experience filled with cosmic energies!

Face an Unyielding Abyss of Demons

As the Draenei search for a respite, the Burning Legion looms ominously, ready to unleash chaos and destruction. Players will need to stay vigilant and learn to identify the signs of demonic incursions to survive the onslaught. Prepare for intense battles and sharpen your strategic skills to thwart their dark ambitions!

Exclusive Login Reward!

To kickstart your cosmic exploration, players can log in now to receive the Legendary minion, Nexus-Prince Shaffar. This unique character will enhance your gameplay with powerful Spellburst effects. Don’t miss this chance to add a formidable ally to your collection!

Engage in friendly competition, open The Great Dark Beyond packs, and build decks with the new cards. The Brawl allows for a thrilling race to six wins or three losses, during which players can earn additional rewards including more cards and packs!
