This year's summer event in Hearthstone is the Felfire Festival of Music and Vengeance, or the Demon Festival of Music and Vengeance, and features pirates, a solo adventure, and much more.
Today, June 9, Hearthstone's summer event starts. The Felfire Festival (Demon Wake Festival) brings a lot of new content that will add new features further down the road.
June 9: Pirates board the game
Starting today, pirates will stir up the battlefield with 17 new Minions and three new heroes. In addition to the new heroes Captain Eudora, Sky Captain Kragg, and Captain Hooktusk, Patches the Pirate will also return with a new ability.
June 17: Solo adventure - Trial by Felfire
A new free solo adventure called "Trial by Felfire" will follow on June 17. The adventure will include five chapters and Aranna Starseeker who we'll accompany on her search. Together with Illidan and the demon hunters, you will face MECHA-JARAXXUS. Aranna Starseeker will be available as a new hero and at the end of the adventure, you will also receive the Rust Legion map back.
June 24: Challenge mode and The return of the Burndown Tavern Brawl
On June 24, two new or old contents will follow. In Challenge Mode, you can create your own deck to compete against the toughest bosses in Outland. Those who master all challenges will receive the golden card Kael'thas Sunstrider.
In addition, the Burndown Tavern Brawl returns on June 24th. Here, all players receive random decks and the loser gets his opponent's deck. In the end, there will be only a single deck left - one which defeated all of the rest.
