Free Hearthstone Solo Adventure Available Today

Hearthstone has a new free five-chapter solo story, Trial by Felfire that is available now, as part of patch 17.4.1 and the Felfire Festival. This solo adventure comes after the release of the new Demon Hunter class, the first new class added since launch in 2014.

The adventure follows the story of Aranna Starseeker, who teams up with Illidian, the game's Demon Hunter, to take down the architect of the Rusted Legion, Mecha-Jaraxxus. The adventure awards a Rusted Legion card back.

A special bundle is also available for purchase, containing Aranna Starseeker Demon Hunter hero, a special card back, and 20 Ashes of Outlands--the most recent expansion--card packs for $20 USD.

The update also includes some balance changes and bug fixes that take effect tomorrow, June 18. The full patch notes can be found on Hearthstone's official website or below.
