New Hearthstone Heroes are Coming!
by JR Cook - 9 years ago show comments
After yesterday’s teaser about new heroes being added to Hearthstone, Community Manager Zeriyah revealed the first of the new heroes arriving at the inn soon.
The first new addition to the game will be the Warrior King of Ironforge: Magni Bronzebeard. Along with new portrait artwork for the hero, the additions will include new animations for the individual’s hero power, new emotes unique to the hero, a custom play area, and a new card back which can be used with any deck.
Magni will be purchasable from the Hearthstone store for $9.99US. Purchasing this hero will not add new cards to your collection or change the associated class Hero Power. Heroes purchased from the store are automatically Gold cards and do not require 500 wins like the original heroes.
For more information check out the full post below, and let us know what you think about these new heroes in the comments!
“Well, look who it is!”
Some new faces have just shown up at the inn! Hearthstone®: Heroes of Warcraft is happy to welcome new Heroes as they pull up a chair at the game table!
These new Heroes put a fresh face on the classes you know and love, and bring along some unique surprises of their own.
Picture Perfect
These new Hearthstone Heroes will feature beautifully detailed animated Hero portraits, including all-new art never before seen in the Blizzard universe. The first new Hero we’re introducing is a famed Warrior—the mighty King of Ironforge himself, Magni Bronzebeard!
Aside from the vibrant new Hero portrait artwork, these new Heroes also come with unique Hero power animations. Magni’s version of the Warrior’s “Armor Up!” Hero Power is sure to reinforce the fact that his majesty is not to be trifled with!
New Heroes also come with unique emotes and voices that convey their individual personalities, a play area featuring a custom visual theme, and nifty “entering the game” animations so you can greet (or intimidate) your next opponent in style.
If that wasn’t enough, new Heroes also come with a unique card back that will impress even the mightiest of dwarven kings! The steadfast “Magni” card back is added to your collection immediately after purchasing the Magni Bronzebeard Hero, and can be used with any deck of your choice.
New Heroes will be available for purchase from the in-game Shop for $9.99 USD!Usurp the traitorous Garrosh Hellscream and bring down the hammers of dwarven justice with Magni Bronzebeard; the first new Warrior Hero for Hearthstone—coming soon!
New Heroes do not add new cards to your collection or change the classes’ activated Hero Power and are not considered new classes.
We aren’t happy about it all on Hearthstone Champion. Way too expensive for what they are. http://hearthstonechampion.com/2015/06/new-hearthstone-heroes-on-the-way-our-thoughts/
Hearthstone champion may not reach the high (but wasted} standards of professional presentation reached by this site; but its ambition and ideology, its what this site should be
Unless otherwise stated (as was included in the disclaimer) announcement articles will be objective in nature. I took the opportunity to write an op-ed piece. I think that there are bigger priorities that need to be addressed before something like this is launched.
i read your site, hearthstone champion. you need to expand the articles out. but the choice of topic, for example the “tech card” segment; was spot on. it looked like it was written by people who play the game. and plenty for beginners also.
Wish you could buy them with gold too.
I wouldn’t have a problem with it if they could be purchased with gold. I just feel like there are more important things to address than vanity times right now.
Personally I think this is perfect, the only negative I find to this is that it didn’t come sooner.
So this is aesthetics only? What a waste. I was kinda hoping for something to shake the the game up and this is not it. For that price, I’d rather buy some packs and get a handjob from a crack addict.
According to a high ranking Blizzard partner in China, the hero skins might not be the main content of the upcoming patch: http://hearthstonechampion.com/2015/06/hearthstone-hero-skins-might-not-be-the-main-content-of-upcoming-patch/ Let’s hope that we get some awesome new content in addition to just cosmetic items.
