Murder at Castle Nathria is the next expansion to come to Hearthstone

Blizzard have announced that murder is in the cards for Hearthstone as the latest expansion for the game has been announced. With Murder at Castle Nathria, coming on 3rd August, it is time to put on your thinking cap.

Players will be embroiled in the murky mystery of poor Sire Denathrius, who was murdered at his own dinner party! Grab your magnifying glass and detective cap because Murder at Castle Nathria will introduce 135 new cards including Legendary Suspects, a new Location card type, and a new Keyword: Infuse.

For the first time ever, specific locations are now represented in game! Locations are a temporary addition to your board, playable just like minions, only as advantageous buffs instead. Drop them onto the board and activate their effects wisely, keeping careful watch on the one-turn cooldown and diminishing durability to execute your strategy. Locations are a permanent addition to Hearthstone.

For those wondering what Infuse means, it actually connects to the soul currency of the Shadowlands, you know the Anima, because you can use it to infuse your game. Cards with this keyword will drink in the lost anima when a friendly minion dies and transform into mightier versions of themselves. Hold these cards in your hand until they’re fully infused—a transformation signified by completely new artwork.

Of course, with a new expansion comes new cards and here are a few of the ones that players can look forward to as part of the update.
