Grand Tournament launches next week
Blizzard’s ever-popular free-to-play digital card game Hearthstone just got a major update ahead of the release of its next expansion, The Grand Tournament. Blizzard just recently revealed all 132 new cards included in The Grand Tournament on its Facebook page, which will surely be a much needed shakeup of the meta.
The update comes with many official changes, but some super sleuths at reddit have found some files that point to a co-op mode being tested at the very least. “Well done! You’ve defeated the boss together. Both players win!” says one voice over file, “Defeat Gearmaster Mechazod together to win!” says another. Where there’s smoke there’s fire, so I hope this means co-op is on the way, or even two versus two.
The Grand Tournament will launch on August 24.
Included in the update are the following changes:
- New quests added:
-Win three games with X class for 50 gold
-Win five Tavern Brawls for 60 gold - Tavern Brawl victories count towards earning the Heroes of the Storm mount award
- A bonus chest will be granted at the end of each season based on highest rank reached in Ranked Play mode
- Various audio, graphical and UI bugs have been fixed
- Concedes now happen immediately
- The Grand Tournament board added
- The Grand Tournament cards appear in the crafting menu now, but can’t be crafted yet
Check out the full official changelog here. The /r/Hearthstone subreddit has been compiling a nice list of changes not listed in the changelog.
