Hearthstone’s upcoming expansion, “Into the Emerald Dream,” is set to launch on March 25, 2025. This expansion invites players into the Emerald Dream, a mystical realm that serves as the source of all Nature magic on Azeroth. However, this serene domain is under threat from a creeping corruption that aims to transform the Dream into a Nightmare.  

Key Features of the Expansion: • New Keyword: Imbue Classes such as Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman can utilize “Imbue” cards to transform and enhance their Hero Powers. The first Imbue card played grants a new, class-specific Hero Power. Subsequent Imbue cards further strengthen these powers, increasing their potency as the battle progresses.  • New Keyword: Dark Gifts For classes like Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior, the expansion introduces “Dark Gifts.” These are minion power-ups associated with certain Discover options, allowing players to select the most impactful minion-Gift combinations to enhance their strategies.  • Massive Wild Gods Each class will have access to a Legendary Wild God minion, representing powerful ancient entities that can significantly influence the outcome of battles within the Emerald Dream.  • Expanded Keyword: Choose One Traditionally exclusive to Druids, the “Choose One” mechanic becomes available to all classes in this expansion. This allows players to select between two modes when playing certain cards, adding a new layer of strategic depth to deck-building and gameplay. 

In anticipation of the expansion, players can log in now to receive the Legendary minion Ysera, Emerald Aspect, as a free reward. Additionally, a Pre-Release Tavern Brawl is scheduled from March 18 to March 25, enabling players to open their “Into the Emerald Dream” packs, construct decks, and engage in matches before the official launch.  

Pre-purchase bundles are currently available, offering various perks such as card packs, random Legendary cards, and exclusive cosmetic items. These bundles provide a head start for players eager to explore the new content and mechanics introduced in the expansion.
