As hearthstone griffins draw to a close and the story of ten mercenaries comes to an end, Hearthstone will temporarily return to short narratives about three different themes. Hearthstone has officially announced the time when the new version will be announced, and during this period of waiting, let's guess what the theme of the new version might be.
Existing intelligence leads
Not long ago, the official Weibo of Hearthstone and World of Warcraft simultaneously released a message, while previewing the unveiling of the new version of Hearthstone and World of Warcraft and the development plan for the new year, which can be said to be an alternative to Blizzard Online Carnival. Breeze speculated that the theme of the new version of Hearthstone is most likely a pure World of Warcraft plot, so it will be announced with Warcraft, and Hearthstone's former game director Ben Lee also said that there will be "big people" in Hearthstone in the next year, and this "big man" will naturally be a character in World of Warcraft. Of course, it is not excluded that only these two games in the Blizzard Family Bucket have new news, who knows how much content Overwatch 2 has done...
And recently, the official Twitter dynamics of Hearthstone have also been paid special attention to, and each new dynamic has been speculated by various analyses, such as the latest dynamic, the left picture is the news of the recent sudden cracking of the Japanese killing stone, the dynamic writes "We don't know what may have been released", and then accompanied by a picture of the eye demon (a small spit groove, the killing stone is sealed in front of the jade algae, and there will be no eye demon running out again). Based on the release + eye demon, some players speculate that this dynamic is suggesting that an eye demon is about to be released from the wild to return to the standard, and the most famous eye demon in the wild environment is the pirate Patches.
At present, this speculation has been mentioned in the comments under the tweet and the domestic forum, but this inference has to be based on the premise that this dynamic is indeed implied, after all, the previous dynamic sent four bats to be interpreted as the year of the bat, in fact, just because "New Batman" is online, will this time also be? In fact, there are still many eye demons in the wild, such as the warlock's chaotic gazers and the floating observer (Little Green) who has joined the tavern wargames, and if the pirate Patches really returns to the standard, there is a high probability that it will not return as it is, at least a surprise attack.
Pandaria demon
In the previous article interviewed by former game director Ben Lee radio, a small partner pointed out that Ben Lee only said that the theme of "Panda Man Cooking Contest" could not continue to be developed in the end, but it did not mean that other themes of Pandaria would not appear in the new version, Qingfeng thought about it carefully as if this was indeed the truth, and this tweet dynamic also had a small partner proposed that the news of escaping (fog) before the left picture of the killing stone shattering the jade algae was actually more like the demon in Pandaria.
According to legend, the Demon was formed by the last breath exhaled by the ancient god Ya Xuanji before his death, and there were a total of seven Demons in the World of Warcraft, namely the Mad Fire, the Anger Fire, the Doubt Fire, the Sorrow Fire, the Hate Fire and the Pride Fire, and the Last Emperor of Pandaria, Shao Hao, sealed six of them, the only one that did not conquer was the Pride Demon, and in the long years and the conflict between tribes and alliances, some of the Demons escaped the seal and corrupted Pandaria.
One thing to say, this content is indeed very suitable for adaptation into the Hearthstone theme, each demon can correspond to a class of orange cards, and if it comes to the theme of demons, it is natural to mention the yasuks of that year (maybe the ancient gods will also replace the old characters with new cards into the core series), and there is also the Titan AmanSur who removed the yakuza from Azeroth, and his weight as this "big man" should be enough.
Battle of the Ancients & Burning Legion
Speaking of Titan Amansur, it's easy to think of another "big man": the Dark Titan Sagras. Sagras has appeared in Hearthstone Adventure mode, but has not yet appeared in constructing cards. Hearthstone has not mentioned many well-known and grand battles, such as the Battle of the Ancients, and the later great battles between Sagras and Egwen, etc. Now that Egwen the Guardian has become the core series of orange cards of mages, is Sagras also coming?
In fact, not only the Battle of the Ancients, there are few themes directly related to the Burning Legion in Hearthstone, and there are also many famous characters of the Burning Legion in Hearthstone, such as Kilgardan, Akmund, Manolos (his original painting in the Tavern Wargames was also given to the big ass Anikhran battlefield officer), etc. In front of these characters, the King and the Second King can only be regarded as "small people". Speaking of which, Marganis has once again progressed to become a level boss in this new version of World of Warcraft, and has also formed a fear double king cp with the female fear demon King Kintaisha.
Shadow Country
Speaking of the new version of World of Warcraft, in fact, The Shadow Nation has been announced since 2019, and it has been two years since it was announced, according to the development process of Hearthstone, if you start planning the Shadow Country version at that time, it is almost time to release it, Iksar said before in the Twitter Q&A that because of the development process problem, Hearthstone is difficult to reflect the current theme content of World of Warcraft in time, but in fact, the Hearthstone theme often coincides with the theme of World of Warcraft. For example, not long after the Karazan Night version was released, World of Warcraft returned to Karazan.
In order to fit the current theme of World of Warcraft, Hearthstone has also introduced a lot of skins related to the Shadow World, tavern wargames and ladder constructions, and many skins are still very good-looking, such as this Ash King Court Illidan, which Kelsas wears the skin he wears in the tavern wargames. I don't know if Hearthstone will have a theme for the Shadow World, and it is not in vain to announce the news with the World of Warcraft.
Bloody Monastery
In fact, many of the themes of Hearthstone are started in small places, although the above two speculations are possible, but the theme is too big, the possibility is actually not so big, perhaps it should also start from the famous stories and characters of world of Warcraft.
And when it comes to the famous people of world of Warcraft, it is necessary to mention the famous blood-colored abbey dog men and women, people who have not played World of Warcraft, may know those two famous lines: "Resurrection, my warrior", "Fight for you, my lady". Before the announcement of the Otranc Mini Series, there were many people who speculated that the Mini Series would be the Blood Cavern, not only because Whitemeen's Staff was a bit similar to Lady Priest's, but also because the Otranc version had a Blood Knight Saidan that had nothing to do with Oshan, but later the Mini Series was returned to the Dragon's Nest copy, but it is still very likely that the Bloody Abbey will become a new theme.
In fact, Grand Prosecutor Whitemayne has been joining Hearthstone for some time, in order to make up for the big screw, the Queen joined the vacancy of the neutral orange card after joining the Honor Room, Whitemeyn joined the classic card bag as a substitute, and then the year of the griffin also joined the core series, the new year core series will change, the designer also said that there will be some old characters new card cards, so why can't it be Whitemine? And Renault Mogherini hasn't appeared in Hearthstone yet, and may also appear in the future.
Of course, at present, these themes are still just speculations, what kind of themes will be, you can only stay tuned, you can also talk about which themes you want to see in Hearthstone?
