Blizzard announced their next expansion for Hearthstone, Knights of the Frozen Throne about a month ago. And recently the developer has announced that the expansion will be released next week on August 10. The update is set to bring to the game 135 new cards. This includes legendary hero cards that when played they transform the player’s hero into a Death Knight while giving them an immediate effect and a modified hero power. They also added some new single player missions which include a prologue, two wings of three boss fights each along with a fight against the Lich King. Players will be rewarded a free legendary card for completing the prologue and card pack for each completed wings. And a new mechanic called lifesteal which heals the player who uses the card that incorporates the key word for any damage dealt.
