The latest expansion to the Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft digital card game, Whispers of the Old Gods, is now available for players. This expansion adds a new, Lovecraftian horror dimension to the game, with new creatures and new spins on old cards.
Whispers of the Old Gods brings 134 new cards to the game. These includes Old God cards, C'Thun, Yogg-Saron, Y'Shaarj, and N'Zoth, which offer new and powerful abilities. There are also "corrupted" versions of old cards, which have different skills from their standard version. You can also be able to play Forbidden Cards, which consume all of your available mana for a turn to power its effect, increasing its potency with each mana point used.
When you open your first Whispers of the Old Gods pack, you'll get as part of it C'Thun, the god of madness, along with two Beckoner of Evil cards.
You can start playing Whispers of the Old Gods in Hearthstone right now. Note that, as of this writing, Blizzard is experiencing some authentication issues, and you may find yourself unable to login. The company is working to address the issue.
