Single player adventure mode coming to Hearthstone

MCV Staff 11th April 2014 Business News

Card battler Hearthstone is getting a brand new single player adventure mode, Blizzard has announced.

It’s called Curse of Naxxramas and is set in ancient necropolis Naxxramas which is a base of operations for Kel’Thuzad and his rather unpleasant sounding plague-bearing undead host.

30 new cards are on offer in the mode for clearing areas and defeating bosses including the oversized arachnid Maexxna, the fungal horror Loatheb, the shambling abomination Patchwerk and devious plague cauldron master Heigan the Unclean”.

All the action takes place on a brand new boar and includes a new Class Challenge game mode.

The new mode will be released in stages over five weeks simultaneously on PC, Mac and iPad. The first part will be free. Subsequent parts can be purchased with either in-game or real currency.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
