A short video accompanied the text, beginning with a sonar beeping steadily. This was followed by ominous music that continued to build up. A figure with glowing red eyes then appeared in the depths. The video ended with text stating the reveals will begin on Thursday. This is after a previous announcement pushed the reveals back from Tuesday.

This new Hearthstone expansion will be the first of three this year, according to another announcement.

While players anticipate the reveal, they can also look forward to Hearthstone Masters Tour Ruins of Alterac, which will kick off this Friday. The title of Masters Tour Champion will be at stake alongside a $250,000 prize pool.

This tournament will last from Friday to Sunday, with the live broadcasts starting at 11 a.m. ET on YouTube each day. Competitors will duke it out in the best-of-five conquest with a ban format, which involves bringing four decks and four unique classes into the fray. Each player must ban one deck from their opponent.

Hearthstone Masters Tour Ruins of Alterac will begin with four rounds of swiss on Friday, followed by four more on Saturday. On Sunday, the tournament will have a round of 16, the top eight, semifinals and finals.
