In Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, players find themselves in the
grimy back-alleys of a lawless locale where criminals from all over
Azeroth have found a haven free of scrutiny from the Horde and the
Alliance. Above all the petty perpetrators and small-time criminals
sit three crime families that truly rule the streets: the
weapon-smuggling Grimy Goons, the assassins of the Jade Lotus, and
the mana-hungry Kabal. Each family offers unique benefits to its
own select set of three Hearthstone classes, allowing them to use
special tricks of the trade unavailable to rival families. When
building decks, players must choose their allies wisely!
“With Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, we’re introducing some exciting
new mechanics to give deck-builders all-new ways to play
Hearthstone,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard
Entertainment. “It’s going to be fun to see the influence of the
three crime families spread throughout Gadgetzan as players align
themselves with the Grimy Goons, the Kabal, and the Jade
Lotus.”
Mean Streets of Gadgetzan is available now for Windows® and
Mac®, and on phones and tablets for iOS and Android™. Card packs
can be purchased individually or in discounted bundles from the
in-game Shop for gold or real-world currency at the same price as
all other Hearthstone card packs. Players now have the chance to
win Mean Streets of Gadgetzan card packs as quest rewards or prizes
in the Arena, and can also craft cards from the expansion by using
Arcane Dust collected from disenchanting unwanted cards.
