acclaimed digital card game

of Gadgetzan card-pack bundle at a special one-time-only price of $49.99†
IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Gadgetzan–The back-alleys of Azeroth’s biggest trade city are bustling with
smugglers, assassins, and outcast magic users—and they’re about to
become your closest allies in Mean Streets of Gadgetzan™,
the fourth expansion for Blizzard Entertainment’s Hearthstone® digital
card game. Opportunity awaits in the dark corners of Gadgetzan,
and those with the spunk and street smarts to befriend the local crime
families can earn a lavish cache of contraband in the form of 132 new
cards.
Mean Streets of Gadgetzan thrusts players into a lawless land
where criminals from all over Azeroth have found a haven, free of
scrutiny from the Horde and the Alliance. The fight for Gadgetzan
dominance brought many petty perpetrators to town, but there are three
crime families that truly rule the streets: the weapon-smuggling Grimy
Goons, the assassins of the Jade Lotus, and the mana-hungry Kabal. Each
family offers unique benefits to its own select set of three Hearthstone
classes, allowing them to utilize special tricks of the trade
unavailable to rival families, so players will want to choose their
allies wisely when building decks!
Coming to PC; Windows, iOS, and Android™ tablets; and mobile
phones, Mean Streets of Gadgetzan card packs will be winnable in Hearthstone’s
Arena mode, and purchasable with in-game gold or real money at the same
prices as Hearthstone’s other card packs. Starting today, and up
until the expansion is released later this year, those eager to hit the
streets running can pre-purchase Mean Streets of Gadgetzan card
packs in a special 50-pack bundle, online only at http://www.battle.net/shop
for a one-time price of $49.99 (one purchase per account).

Gadgetzan at www.Gadgetzan.com.
