Adventure Mode: Curse of Naxxramas News, Cards, Release Date!

New Druid Card Unveiled! (4-26-2014)

A new druid card was unveiled to the public via Hearthstone’s Official Facebook. You can find the artwork below and the card page here: Poison Seeds

The speculation was correct! Curse of Naxxramas has been announced and with it comes a slew of information. We’ll do our best to keep you informed, here’s what we know and what cards to look forward to:

  • Curse of Naxxramas Release Date: Summer 2014 (source)
  • Confirmed Bosses: Maexxna, Loatheb, Patchwerk, Heigan the Unclean
  • Each Boss has their own unique cards and Hero Powers
  • Five unique wings – The Arachnid Quarter, The Plague Quarter, The Military Quarter, The Construct Quarter, and Frostwyrm Lair
  • Each wing opens up during the course of a 5 week period (one a week)
  • First wing is free (try before you buy) – The Arachnid Quarter
  • Each additional wing will cost gold (start horde-ing now) OR real money (get a job!)
  • Cost of each wing is still being determined (source)
  • Each wing is a one time cost (source)
  • As each wing releases the cards will become usable in Arena (this means you won’t have to participate in the Adventure Mode to get a chance to use them)
  • 30 new playable cards

  • Obtainable cards currently known: Undertaker, Shade of Naxxramas, Nerubian Egg, Dancing Swords, and Baron Rivendare
