If you thought the Hearthstone fun was over at BlizzCon then you should think again! At the Hearthstone – Live Q&A event they will be presenting 27 new cards (3 for each class) and allowing the audience to vote for which ones they would like to see in Arena. There will be a future short term Arena event that will feature these cards!
This seems like a pretty interesting way to shake up Arena. I’ve always felt like Arena could have events throughout the year that changed the format to keep things fresh and now it appears Blizzard will be heading in this direction.
Here’s the official description of the Hearthstone – Live Q&A:
We have 27 new cards we’re considering adding to the Arena—come vote on which ones YOU think should go straight into the game! Then, join the Hearthstone development team for a Q&A session. – Source
Here are a couple of quotes from Game Designer, Mike Donais:
These are 27 new cards we designed just for this panel.
We will show 3 cards from a class and talk about them and then let the audience pick one to go into arena. – Source
They will be added as a short term arena event in the future. – Source
