Blackrock Mountain, a new magma-filled adventure, will launch for Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft in April, Blizzard Entertainment has announced.

The expansion will thrust players into the middle of a war between powerful forces battling for control of the mountain. Duelists will encounter fierce minions, including Dark Iron dwarves, fire elementals, and dragons, before facing off against iconic boss characters from the Warcraft universe, such as Ragnaros, the Firelord.

Defeat these villains and players will be rewarded with 31 new cards inspired by the legendary mountain and its denizens.

Blackrock Mountain will open up one wing per week over the course of a month. Players can buy the content with either 700 in-game gold per wing or $6.99 per wing, with the entire Adventure purchasable for $24.99.

Pre-orders open from March 19, with those who pre-order with real money offered an exclusive card pack.

All the new content will be available on PC, iPad, and Windows and Android tablets.
