The Grand Tournament, Hearthstone's next expansion, will launch on Aug. 24, Blizzard announced today. The jousting-themed mode adds 132 cards, a new play board, new spells and a new special ability called "inspire."
The Grand Tournament is based on the Argent Tournament update from World of Warcraft. Over the weekend, Hearthstone's official Facebook page uploaded all 132 cards for players to examine before launch.
Hearthstone is previewing the launch with "The Grand Tournament Match" taking place in the game now until Aug. 24.
