Hearthstone: Kostenlose Belohnungen und eine Übersicht zu der Blizzcon 2018
Um ihre Spielerschaft bereits im Vorfeld möglichst optimal auf die bereits am Freitag, den 02. November startende Blizzcon 2018 vorzubereiten, veröffentlichten die für dieses Kartenspiel verantwortlichen Entwickler heute Abend netterweise einen als Vorschau auf diese Spielemesse fungierenden Blogeintrag auf ihrer Communityseite. In diesem Artikel stellen die Verantwortlichen unter anderem vor, welche wichtigen Panels, Veranstaltungen und vor Ort stattfindende Events sich mit Hearthstone beschäftigen werden. Zusätzlich dazu verkündete das Entwicklerteam in dieser Vorschau, dass die Eröffnungszeremonie der Blizzcon 2018 mindestens eine spezielle Ankündigung für dieses Kartenspiel beinhaltet. Dabei sollte es sich dann um das Thema und den Namen der nächsten Erweiterung für Hearthstone handeln.
Ansonsten haben die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment diesen Blogeintrag auch noch dafür genutzt, um ihre Spielerschaft darüber in Kenntnis zu setzen, dass sie im Verlauf der Blizzcon 2018 einige kostenlose Belohnungen in diesem Kartenspiel freischalten können. Bei diesen Belohnungen handelt es sich um zwei am Freitag verteilte goldene Karten (Star Aligner, Secret Plan) und ein am Samstag erhältliches kostenloses Pack von Dr. Bumms Geheimlabor. Wer diese Belohnungen gerne sein Eigen nennen möchte, der muss sich einfach nur an den entsprechenden Tagen der Blizzcon 2018 in Hearthstone einloggen.
