I’ve got a golden ticket.
Blizzard Entertainment is known as being one of the most tight lipped developers out there, so I’m trying to figure out what the hell is in the water over there regarding Hearthstone.
First of all, they announce the Goblins vs. Gnomes expansion at BlizzCon and its releasing only a month later instead of the customary “soon”, which turns into months if not years of waiting. Then they trickle out nearly every card in the expansion in the last couple weeks, and today they announce that all the Goblins vs. Gnomes cards are currently available in Hearthstone if you enter Arena mode. That’s right, you can fiddle with all 120+ new cards in Arena mode right now and, best of all, if you log in between now and Monday, your Arena run is on the house. Even if you’re in the middle of another Arena run, all you need to do is log in by Monday and you’ll be credited a free Arena run for whenever you want to use it.
That’s not all, though. Today Blizzard also launched spectator mode in Hearthstone, enabling you to log on and watch your friends play. Not quite as exciting as an expansion if all you look for is casual play, but I have a feeling that Hearthstone tournaments are going to start popping up like weeds.
You’ll have to wait until Monday if you want to actually add GvG cards to your collection, but until then head into the arena and give them a try. Nonsensical and gameplay free GvG trailer after the break.
