Hearthstone Launches 'The Great Dark Beyond,' Reviving the Burning Legion

Hearthstone's "The Great Dark Beyond" expansion has arrived, introducing 145 new collectible cards, Starships, and the Draenei! Ready to explore the cosmos? Let's dive in.

Who Are the Draenei?

The Draenei, a new minion type in Hearthstone, are cosmic beings – the "Exiled Ones" from Warcraft lore. Having fled their homeworld to escape the Burning Legion, they now journey through "The Great Dark Beyond" seeking a new haven. These nomadic minions often have effects that benefit subsequent Draenei played, creating a powerful synergy around their leader, Velen.

Starships and Starship Pieces

"The Great Dark Beyond" introduces customizable Starships. You collect Starship Pieces – minions that, when defeated, enhance your Starship's power. Once ready, unleash your upgraded Starship onto the battlefield! Each class (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock) boasts a unique Starship design.

The Spellburst mechanic returns, and a revamped Rewards Track offers abundant rewards. Download Hearthstone from the Google Play Store and begin your interstellar adventure!
