Knights of the Frozen Throne is the new expansion coming to Hearthstone in August.

Hearthstone’s Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion will launch August 10

Hearthstone fans might want to wear a jacket or something on August 10. That’s when the digital card game’s chilly new expansion, Knights of the Frozen Throne, will release for PC and mobile.

Blizzard announced the date today on its site, clarifying the previous release window of August. The expansion will add 135 new cards to Hearthstone, including the Death Knight heroes that give you new powers. Hearthstone has been a big hit since launching in 2014, and new sets like this keep players engaged (and likely to spend money on new card packs).
