Hearthstone’s new game mode is called Tavern Brawl, booze fueled mayhem expected later this month
Yesterday we reported on Blizzard who had begun teasing a new game mode for their popular TCG title Hearthstone. Well before a lot of guesses to what that game mode actually is could happen, Blizzard has removed the curtain to unveil Tavern Brawl, which is what the new game mode will be.
Blizzard have been busy little bees lately it seems when it comes to teasing new features and making people think changes are approaching. First there was the whole rumor about another expansion on the way after Blizzard changed their cover image on Facebook. That got everybody thinking that a new Pirate and Ninja themed expansion was on the way. This particular rumor has yet to be confirmed or disproved, although from some comments left in our original article on this rumor, itis more than likely not true. Still… you never know right?
Blizzard has begun teasing a new update that will be heading to Hearthstone soon and it is something a lot bigger than something as simple as new cards. Today the company posted an announcement on their Hearthstone blog, teasing new heroes that will be making their way to Hearthstone in the near future.
Since it originally launched on PC and Mac back in March of last year, Blizzard’s fantasy-themed digital collectible card game, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, has amassed a rather large community of players around the world that encompasses everyone from casual players to professional gamers competing in large tournaments for real cash prizes. The game is also continuing to reach new audiences now that it has hit new platforms including Android tablets like the NVIDIA Shield at first, before finally being updated to include Android phones as well.
Blizzard has only released one real expansion for Hearthstone since the game’s release, which was the Goblins vs Gnomes expansion. While adventure updates do include new cards, there is only a small amount added to the game and so they do expand what is available card-wise in Hearthstone, it isn’t like a full expansion such as Goblins vs Gnomes which added 150+ cards. It appears that Blizzard may be teasing yet another expansion for Hearthstone, this time themed with pirates and ninjas.
Hearthstone is a digital CCG from Blizzard, set within the World of Warcraft universe. Amazon has just announced a few things regarding this game. First, it’s now available in the Amazon Appstore. Second, in celebration of this, they’re offering some discounts relating to Hearthstone. First, Amazon coins can now be used for in app purchases, like booster packs for Hearthstone.
Since Hearthstone was released onto Android it has only been playable natively on tablets. We say natively because there was a way we reported on to play it on your Android phone. However now you can do that and have it completely optimized for your Android phone of choice thanks to today’s update which finally makes this game playable on Android phones.
