Hearthstone Unveils "Across the Timeways" Expansion with New Legendary Heroes In a thrilling announcement that has sent ripples through the Warcraft universe, Hearthstone has officially unveiled its latest expansion: "Across the Timeways" — a journey through fractured realities, alternate timelines, and the echoes of legendary heroes long thought lost. Set in the wake of a cataclysmic temporal rift, Across the Timeways plunges players into a multiverse where heroes from different eras, dimensions, and destinies collide. As the fabric of time unravels, players will face off against twisted versions of familiar faces, ancient champions reborn in new forms, and brand-new Legendary Heroes forged from the chaos of collapsing timelines. 🔥 Introducing the New Legendary Heroes: Khadgar, the Timeless Scholar Mage – Once a humble archmage of Dalaran, Khadgar now wields the power of temporal magic to manipulate fate itself. His ability allows players to shuffle a copy of a spell from your hand into your deck—but at a cost: draw a card and lose 1 Mana next turn. Time is not kind, but it is powerful. Anduin Wrynn, the Conqueror of Time Priest – From a future where peace was forged through sacrifice, Anduin emerges as a warrior of light and rebirth. His hero power grants a random friendly minion +3/+3 and Taunt—but only if it hasn’t been damaged this turn. The past shapes the future, and he is its guardian. Garrosh Hellscream, the Unbroken Titan Warrior – A version of Garrosh from an alternate timeline where he never fell. This version wields the fury of a thousand battles and commands the might of the Horde’s greatest warlord. His ability gives all your minions +2/+2 and Rush—but only if you’ve played a spell this turn. Malfurion Stormrage, the Eternal Guardian Druid – The ancient night elf, reborn from a dream of the Emerald Dream, channels the raw power of nature across time. His hero power summons a 2/2 Treant with Taunt that can’t be targeted by spells until your next turn—a fleeting but fierce defense against temporal chaos. 🌀 Key Features of "Across the Timeways": Chrono-Recall Mechanic: Some cards now have a "Timeline Echo" effect, allowing you to replay a card from your hand if you’ve played another card this turn—embodying the expansion’s theme of repetition, consequence, and alternate paths. Multiverse Mode: A new game mode that randomly pairs players with opponents from alternate timelines, leading to unique deck archetypes and gameplay twists based on the timeline you’re pulled from. New Legendary Cards: Over 100 new cards, including 4 legendary minions, 4 legendary weapons, and 4 legendary spells—each tied to a different timeline or fate. Epic Story Campaign: A new single-player narrative campaign where players guide a rogue time-walker across shifting realities, making choices that alter the fate of entire timelines. 📅 Launch Details: Release Date: October 24, 2024 Expansion Pack Availability: Pre-order now on Hearthstone’s official site and in-game store for exclusive card backs, cosmetic skins, and a digital artbook featuring concept art from the multiverse. Free-to-Play Access: All new content will be available to players who own the base game and access the expansion through the Golden Collection or as a standalone purchase. 🌌 The Message from the Timeways: "Time does not flow in a straight line. It bends. It breaks. It chooses. And when it does, only the bold—and the mad—dare walk its edges." With "Across the Timeways," Hearthstone invites players to rewrite destiny, battle echoes of their past, and decide which hero truly deserves to be remembered. 🔥 Step into the rift. Rewrite the timeline. Become legend. Available October 24, 2024.
