Blizzard has finally confirmed the official launch date of Hearthstone’s new expansion, The Grand Tournament. On August 24th, the new card packs will be available for purchase and as part of the Arena.
In preparation for the big day, this week’s Tavern Brawl will feature pre-made decks featuring the two new card mechanics, Joust and Inspire. There is also time to buy the promotional card bundle, 50 TGT card packs for $49.99 USD, but that offer expires on the 24th when the expansion launches.
