Hearthstone’s second expansion of 2025 is The Lost City of Un’Goro

In the year 2025, Hearthstone is all set to carry on the Year of the Raptor with its second expansion. For this upcoming release, Blizzard is going back to a beloved setting that has been a favorite for both Hearthstone and World of Warcraft enthusiasts. It’s high time we revisit Un’Goro Crater, as the next expansion is titled The Lost City of Un’Goro!

The hidden city of Un’Goro reveals a hitherto uncharted region within the Un’Goro Crater. It was here that a tribe of Tortollans prospered under Titan guidance, residing near an active volcano which supplied energy for their settlement. The keyword for this expansion is Kindred, granting a bonus effect when the following card played matches the type or school of the previously played card. Additionally, there are other intriguing mechanisms at play, such as cards designed to enhance minions of assorted types and Story spells that recount past adventures in Un’Goro. Worthy of attention are also Map spells, which make use of the Discover mechanic, allowing players to possibly draw numerous cards from their deck.

In case you’re heading back to Un’Goro, get ready to encounter familiar keywords and strategies again. Quests are reappearing and seem just as promising as before. Additionally, the Adapt ability will be back in action, joining forces with several fresh minion cards.

There were quite a few card reveals with Monday’s announcement. Take a look:

(4) Elise the Navigator (3/5) (Neutral) – Battlecry: If your deck started with 10 cards of different Costs, craft a custom location.

Today, players can experience a sneak peek of the upcoming expansion by simply logging into the game. Upon login, every player receives Endbringer Umbra as a gift, while the in-game store gives away two complimentary Blob of Tar items. In a few weeks, an event will commence, providing players with Dissolving Ooze and Sharp-Eyed Lookout upon completion.

On Tuesday, July 8, keep an eye out for the release of Hearthstone: The Lost City of Un’Goro. Typically, Blizzard unveils a new trailer at this time, but it seems the expansion cinematic is still being built. Expect to see that on Thursday, June 26.
