Blizzard Entertainment revealed a new expansion and character class for Hearthstone this week with March Of The Lich King. The content will launch into the game on December 6th, and with it will come 203 brand new cards that will radically change up the meta. Along with it comes a brand new character class tied to the story of the expansion as you will now be able to play as a Death Knight. You will need to follow a path set forth by Arthas Menethil as he becomes the iconic Warcraft villain, the Lich King. The expansion will also add a new Undead minion type and a new Manathirst keyword. We have more info below and the trailer as we now wait out the next month for it to arrive.
