Hearthstone Unveils The Great Dark Beyond, Reintroduces Burning Legion

The long-awaited The Great Dark Beyond expansion has finally arrived in Hearthstone, bringing with it an exciting array of 145 new collectible cards, space-faring Starships, and the introduction of the Draenei. If you're eager to explore all the new features and mechanics, you're in the right place.

Who Are Draenei in The Great Dark Beyond in Hearthstone?

Draenei are the newest permanent minion type in Hearthstone, embodying a cosmic essence. If you're familiar with Warcraft lore, you'll recognize them as the 'Exiled Ones,' who fled their home planet to escape the Burning Legion. Now, they wander The Great Dark Beyond, searching for a new home within the Hearthstone universe.

These cosmic nomads bring a sense of hope and unity, often featuring effects that enhance the next Draenei you play. They rally around their leader, Velen, creating a tight-knit family of space travelers who stand together against all odds.

The main theme of The Great Dark Beyond in Hearthstone revolves around piloting your custom-built Starship. You'll gather Starship Pieces as you journey through the expansion, which you can play as regular Hearthstone minions. When these pieces are defeated, their stats and effects are absorbed into your Starship, transforming it into a formidable vessel ready to be deployed against your opponents.

Each class with Starship cards boasts a unique design for their ship, including Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock. For a place where all classes can come together, head to The Exile’s Hope.

Spellburst is making a triumphant return in this expansion, and there's a new Rewards Track brimming with exciting loot. Don't miss out—download Hearthstone from the Google Play Store and dive into the adventure today.
