Hearthstone is growing! The game is expanding its Hero roster, welcoming the Monk. The new class will be arriving next year. But that is not all! The Old Gods return much sooner than that.
“Did someone say MONK!? Prepare yourself for Hearthstone’s 12th class, Monk, arriving next year. More information about the class and its unique mechanics will be revealed as we get closer to release, so stay tuned!”
Launching on October 20, Reign of the Black Empire takes Hearthstone back to the earliest age of Azeroth, long before the Old Gods were imprisoned and long before the world as we know it existed. This was the age of the Black Empire, when C’Thun, N’Zoth, Yogg-Saron, and Y’Shaarj ruled a corrupted world and waged war against the Titan-forged armies sent to stop them.
Now it’s your turn to step into that conflict. Command the most horrifying Old Gods Hearthstone has ever created and wield the power of creation to Assemble your own custom minions.
Reign of the Black Empire features the four Old Gods as Legendary Neutral minions:
- C’Thun, Eye of the Empire rewards unwavering devotion and the fulfillment of its dark designs.
- N’Zoth, Dream’s End spreads corruption through patient planning and inevitable decay.
- Mastermind Yogg-Saron seizes control, unleashing chaos through those who serve it.
- Y’Shaarj, Titan Bane overwhelms its enemies through sheer size, strength, and domination.
This is the age of the Black Empire, when these nightmarish rulers stood at the height of their power and their influence shaped all of Azeroth. Their strength is so immense that you may include only one Old God in your deck. Each Old God possesses four potent once-per-game abilities and, instead of attacking, can invoke two of those powers each turn. Once all four abilities have been exhausted, the Old God is free to attack and join the battle directly.
