Whispers of the Old Gods will be the next Hearthstone expansion, Blizzard has announced.
Packs containing the 134 new cards included in the set will be available for gold, real money, or as rewards in the Arena. They will feature cards based on C’Thun, N’Zoth, Yogg-Saron, and Y’Shaarj — a.k.a the Old Gods — and their followers.
Blizzard teased at least one new mechanic, wherein cards affiliated with a certain god will power up that minion whether it's in the player's hand, on the board, or just in their deck. The card in question, C'Thun, will be a 6/6 creature for 10 mana with a battlecry that deals its attack damage "randomly split among all enemies."
Whispers of Old Gods won't launch until late April or early May of this year. When it does, however, it will bring the promised Standard Hearthstone format along with it. Those who play Standard with Whispers of the Old Gods cards will even unlock new quests for ranked matches.
