Hearthstone Kobolds & Catacombs Launch Date & Critical Role Special Announced

Blizzard Entertainment has announced that on December 7, players can enjoy the newest expansion for Hearthstone: Kobolds & Catacombs.

Kobolds & Catacombs features 135 new cards, with two new card types – Spellstones and Unidentified Items – and a new keyword (recruit). Each of the nine classes will also have access to a Legendary weapon!

Also added in this expansion are Dungeon Runs, a free single-player mode that offers 48 different possible encounters in a roguelike structure.

Hearthstone players can pre-purchase 50 Kobolds & Catacombs card packs (and the bonus “FOR THE HOARD” card back) for $49.99 US, available to open the moment the expansion goes live. All players will get a random legendary weapon card and 3 expansion card packs for logging in after release. Another promotion will grant a Kobolds & Catacombs card pack for the first three sequential Dungeon Run quests run.

A special episode of Critical Role featuring a Kobold-themed adventure will also be held on November 30 at 7pm PT on Twitch to promote the expansion’s upcoming release.
