Blizzard uses a Facebook Messenger chatbot to tease Hearthstone’s future

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is doing an awful lot of teasing lately, and now the digital card game leader is using a Facebook Messenger chatbot to stir up even more speculation.

On Monday, the game’s Facebook page posted an image that said “Welcome to Gadgetzan.” Many speculate that this could be teasing Hearthstone’s next expansion. These are a big deal for the free-to-play card battler, as they add over a hundred new cards. This can help retain players and give them an incentive to buy new packs. These cards can also change strategies and fortunes for Hearthstone, the card game market leader that originally came out in 2014.
