Madness at the Darkmoon Faire - New Hearthstone Expansion Announced

 The cinematics team for Hearthstone freaking kills it every time.


I love the use of the Darkmoon Faire carousel theme, which already struck that eerie chord of "hey, am I going insane here?" Ever since the Darkmoon Faire was revamped way back in 4.3, I've loved the whole dark aesthetic, and in this Hearthstone expansion, the sinister nature of the faire is made explicit, as this links the place with the Old Gods.

Giving us something of a sequel to Whispers of the Old Gods, this expansion will give Azeroth's four Old Gods new legendary creature cards to build a deck around.

There's also a new mechanic called Corrupt, which upgrades spells if you cast a higher-cost card while it's in your hand.

In addition, a new game mode called Duels is being added, which is being pitched as a sort of PvP version of the deck-building solo content like Dungeon Run. This has its own trailer.
