Today, Blizzard has announced new event for Hearthstone after releasing Rise of Shadows earlier this year. The event is called Rise of the Mech and it will include a brand new Legendary Mech, buffs to cards from every class, new Arena draft rotation and a Mech-vitational event spanning over several days. Rise of the Mech starts on June 3.
The new neutral Legendary Mech SN1P-SN4P can be obtained in two ways. If you log in between June 3 and July 1, you’ll get a golden copy of the card. After July 1, a regular version can be crafted for 1600 dust.
The card buffs for every class will be permanent and the cards getting buffed will keep their updated stats after The Boomsday Project rotates out of Standard next year.
