Blackrock Mountain is home to a wealth of creatures with a burning desire to meet you: From the elementals of the Molten Core that find 1300°F “comfortable” to the dragons that lie in wait within Blackrock Spire, Hearthstone’s second adventure mode pits players against single-player bosses and their unique abilities that are guaranteed to put you in the hot seat. Each boss within Blackrock Mountain has unique cards at their disposal, and they’re guaranteed to challenge any adventurer ready to brave the challenges within. A total of five unique wings make up the massive expanse of Blackrock Mountain, and each wing is a unique experience to one of the five iconic zones found within it.

Battling your way through the unique wings of Blackrock Mountain will reward players will all-new Hearthstone cards to add to their collection! Once these cards have been earned by defeating each individual Blackrock Mountain boss, they can immediately be added to your deck. 31 new cards will be added with Blackrock Mountain!

Delving into Blackrock Depths
Players that enter the adventure will immediately be greeted by the Dark Iron Dwarves that dwell deep within the depths Blackrock Mountain. They’re a bit hot-headed, but can you blame them; there’s no air conditioning in Blackrock Depths!

Blackrock Mountain has its own unique game board that you’ll battle on while you’re in the Adventure. Best of all, as soon as Blackrock Mountain is hot off the presses, the game board will be a part of the normal board rotation in Play and Arena modes! What new surprises await you?

New Class Challenges
If you enjoyed the class challenges within Curse of Naxxramas, they’re back with a vengeance in Blackrock Mountain! Nine new class challenges are prepared for you to put your skills with a specific class to the test. Conquering these Class Challenges will reward you with new class-specific cards to add to your collection.

Prepare to fight fire with even more fire! Once you’re defeated all of the bosses within any given wing for the first time, you’ll unlock the Heroic mode of that wing. Heroic mode bosses do not play fair – they are significantly more difficult than their normal mode versions, and they will prove to be a challenge for even the most veteran Hearthstone players.
Defeating all of Blackrock Mountain’s bosses on Heroic mode will unlock a new card back for your collection.

Fortune Favors the Boulder
Blackrock Mountain will unearth its secrets over the course of 5 weeks. Starting with Blackrock Depths, each wing opens one week at a time with a new wing opening each week, until all five wings are open.
Each wing within Blackrock Mountain can be purchased with in-game gold or real money, following the same pricing as Curse of Naxxramas.

Each wing can be purchased for 700 gold or $6.99 USD. Blackrock Mountain bundle pricing is also available – the bigger the bundle, the bigger the discount! Purchasing wings in bundles does not unlock Blackrock Mountain wings faster than the one-wing-a-week schedule, but it does ensure that you’ll be able to dive into the next challenge and earn new cards as soon as they unlock.

As each wing is released, the cards contained within each wing will also show up in your Arena picks, even if you have not earned them for your personal collection yet.

Can you take the heat? Grab your fire resistance gear and get ready to brave the mountain! Blackrock Mountain is planned to release simultaneously for PC, Mac, iPad, and Android tablets next month!
 
Ooo. I like new shiny things. I haven't played for a while though, I should play more. Maybe it'll get me that sweet overwatch invite.
 
I play the shit out of this on the iPad. But I don't understand dungeons. Do you get cards by playing them? Are they versus the computer? I am confused how it works.

Yes to both. Usually you're set up with a situation and its up to you to figure out how best to clear it. It can be very challenging and cause you to rework some of your decks for situational cards.

Yes, this. Each "boss" has different mechanics and generally requires the player to create a special deck to defeat it. 99.99% of the constructed decks found online will not work unless they were built specifically for the boss. It's so much fun.

Check out some of the chatter we had for the Naxx adventures.

You can get cards unlocked by defeating bosses or wings or doing specific class type challenges. They are a lot of fun to figure out.
 
Gah, I wish I had more time. I only recently got enough gold to get clear all of the Naxx wings. The expansion looks cool and I think that priests are going to have a pretty good time with all of the new dragons. Except that new Priest 1-drop, that thing is just flat out bad. I definitely like the new cost less per minion that died mechanic and I think it will keep people from flooding as much as they do in arena and sometimes in constructed. Should be a lot of fun.
