Blackrock Mountain: A Hearthstone Adventure

• Blackrock Mountain has been added and will be accessible starting April 2.
• Blackrock Mountain offers a new single-player campaign to play Hearthstone against challenging NPC adversaries. Blackrock Mountain can be unlocked with gold or real money and can be accessed by players who have unlocked all 9 heroes.

• Overcome 9 nefarious Class Challenges that test your skills with each of the unique classes of Hearthstone!
• Defeating all of the bosses within a wing unlocks the extremely challenging Heroic Mode of that wing. Defeating all of the bosses of Blackrock Mountain on Heroic mode unlocks a new card back for your collection.
• Five unique wings await those brave enough to delve into Blackrock Mountain. Each of the five wings are immediately available to purchase with real money or gold, with a new wing unlocking for players to enter each week over the course of April.

  • Molten Core—Face fiery elemental minions in searing magma tunnels at the heart of Blackrock Mountain.
  • Blackrock Spire—Climb to the heights of Blackrock Mountain to invade Nefarian’s domain and square off against ogres, orcs, and dragonkin!
  • Blackwing Lair—Foil the lord of Blackrock by disrupting his attempts to create the perfect draconic minions.
  • The Hidden Laboratory—The final showdown, where you’ll contend with fiendish technology, horrifying experimental monstrosities, and the mastermind behind them all.

Bug Fixes

• Friends that are Away on the Battle.net App will no longer be displayed in your online friend count.
• We’ve nailed the game board to the table: Spells that create screen shaking effects should no longer get your screen stuck in a bad position.
• Warsong Commander will now give charge to minions summoned by other minions—charge forward!
• Bane of Doom can now summon any collectible demons. Doom . . . DOOM!
• Sylvanas will no longer steal a minion that is about to die, which is weird because that’s generally her thing.
• Vol’jin will no longer kill itself if the only other minion in play is stealthed.
• Minions that are spawned from a Deathrattle are now targetable sooner. This will affect the Slime from Sludge Belcher, as well as the spawns from Harvest Golem and the Shredders.
• General bug fixes and UI improvements.
