Bundle up: the first chapter of Hearthstone: Descent of Dragons’ solo adventure, Galakrond’s Awakening goes live today and brings players to the coast of Northrend; Arch-Villain Rafaam has brought the floating city of Dalaran where he plans to resurrect none other than Galakrond himself as part of his nefarious master plan. Will the League of Explorers be able to stop him?
In the first chapter of Galakrond’s Awakening, Battle of the Frozen Coast, players will assume the role of League of Explorer Brann Bronzebeard, who will face off against the heavy fortifications of Dr. Boom. The first chapter will also reveal a total of seven unlockable cards players can add to their collections.
Per the official Blizzard press release:
Galakrond’s Awakening is Live!
The final solo adventure of the Year of the Dragon is here! Chapter 1 of Galakrond’s Awakening is now live. In Galakrond’s Awakening, you’ll experience the story of Arch-Villain Rafaam’s master plan from both sides as you play through two adventures in one.
League of E.V.I.L. Chapter: Battle of the Frozen Coast
The League of E.V.I.L. has reached Northrend to put the final stage of their plan into play. Dalaran soars in the skies carrying the Plague of Undeath, and the ultimate goal is now clear. Rafaam must resurrect Galakrond if he’s to be proclaimed the villain of all villains! But the League of Explorers is right behind them, allying with the dragon aspects to stop Galakrond’s return.
In this first chapter, you’ll take control of some familiar faces from past stories, including the arakkoa Kriziki and the fortune teller Madame Lazul. There are three encounters to complete in League of E.V.I.L. Chapter 1, including a battle against the dapper murloc Sir Finley.
