2020 is a massive year for Hearthstone as Blizzard is soon releasing Ashes of Outland this April, and it’s the first of three expansion this year. Much like previous expansions, Ashes of Outland brings lots of new cards, what sets it apart though is that it will introduce a new class — the Demon Hunter.

The Demon Hunter

For the first time since it’s launch, Hearthstone is getting a new class, the Demon Hunter. All Hearthstone players will receive the the all-new class upon completion of the free Demon Hunter Prologue campaign, a re-telling of Illidan Stormrage’s origin story. The campaign will be made playable on April 3, 2020.

Upon completion the prologue, Hearthstone players will get access to 30 Demon class cards, as well as a pre-built starter Demon Hunter deck.

The Demon Hunter class and the new Demon Hunter class cards will be released in-game on April 8, the launch date of the Ashes of Outland expansion.

 

Ashes of Outland

Aside from bringing a new class, Ashes of Outland also features a ton of new cards that feature unique traits. As for its theme, the expansion is based on The Burning Crusade expansion of WoW, and it featured Illidan Stormrage — the self-proclaimed Lord of Outland.

In all, Ashes of Outland brings 135 new cards that are set to shake-up the game. Starting March 18, players can pre-purchase the Ashes of Outland Mega Bundle for USD 79.99 which includes 90 Ashes of Outland card packs, one random Ashes of Outland Golden Legendary card, the Lady Vashj Shaman Hero, the Serpentine card back, four Arena tickets, and Descent of Dragons bonuses for the Battlegrounds game mode.

Players can also opt for the Pre-Purchase bundle for USD 49.99 which includes 55 Ashes of Outland card packs, one random Ashes of Outland Legendary card, and the Serpentine card back.
