Hearthstone's New Expansion Explores Un'Goro Crater

Hearthstone ventures back to Un’Goro Crater with its latest expansion, The Lost City of Un’Goro, set to launch on July 8th. This release reimagines the 2017 Un’Goro setting with a fresh narrative and enhanced gameplay.

What to Expect in The Lost City of Un’Goro

This expansion introduces 145 new cards, a novel keyword, and revived mechanics. It centers on a gripping story of a new expedition into the fabled lost city.

In The Lost City of Un’Goro, players follow Loh, a Tortollan explorer, leading a team into the mysterious city. Elise Starseeker serves as the navigator, while Umbra, a former Tortollan leader, guides the group with her own hidden agenda, revealed as the story unfolds.

The highlight of the expansion is the new Kindred keyword. Cards with Kindred gain a bonus effect if you played a card of the same minion type or spell school on your previous turn. The effect triggers based on the prior turn’s play, not the current one.

Quest cards also return as 1-cost Legendary spells that appear in your starting hand. Each class receives a unique Quest, offering a powerful reward upon completing its conditions.

More Features to Explore

Seven Story cards tie back to the original Un’Goro set, letting players relive moments and characters from the past expedition in Un’Goro Crater.

The expansion includes six new Map cards. Playing a Map lets you choose one card from three options. If you play the selected card in the same turn, you gain one of the other two options; otherwise, you keep only the first.
