Every Hearthstone event at Blizzcon 2015, in every major timezone.
In just over a few weeks from now, Blizzard fans from all over the world will be descending upon Blizzcon to celebrate the publisher’s meaty roster of games – including Hearthstone.
As well as providing the venue for the finals of this year’s Hearthstone World Championship, we’re also expecting to hear news of the next new dollop content that’s being developed for the game.
Whether you’re down on the ground in Los Angeles, or are simply watching from home somewhere else in the world, here’s a comprehensive breakdown of all the Hearthstone happenings at Blizzcon this year.
Hearthstone Blizzcon 2015 schedule – Friday 6th
Once the opening ceremony is out of the way, there’ll be a huge number of World Championship and Exhibition matches taking place in the hall specifically designated for all things Hearthstone. All eyes, however, will be on the main stage at a little after midnight on Friday night, over here in Europe.
Expect some insight into the impact of The Grand Tournament on Hearthstone’s metagame, as well as our first taste of the next expansion the team have been busy preparing for us. Going by the timetable that’s been established by previous releases, we’re due a new Adventure to work through.
Will we – finally – get to explore the ghostly corridors of Karazhan as Eric Dodds hinted at in our interview earlier this year? Perhaps the developers are planning to break with tradition this time, and we’ll see another generous dollop of cards appear in the current card pool, in the vein of The Grand Tournament or Goblins vs Gnomes.
