Voice actor’s resume refers to ‘Lost Secrets of Un’Goro’
Blizzard had a great 2016;Overwatchwasour game of the year, and I heard almost nothing but positive things aboutWorld of Warcraft: Legion. With all that going on, it’d be easy to overlookHearthStone,which also put out a couple of great expansions themed around amagical partyandmythical goblin gangsters. According to a voice actress’s resumé, it looks like the next expansion will take things in a prehistoric direction.
Lani Minella is a veteran voice actress who’s provided voices for many of Blizzard’s games in the past, includingWorld of WarCraft, HearthStone, Diablo 1&2, andStarcraft.Her resuméwas recently updated to show work on an unnanouncedHearthStoneexpansion calledLost Secrets of Un’Goro.The resumé was later updated to remove reference to the expansion, butRedditgot a screenshot before the information was changed.
InHearthStone, each card has a voice line that triggers when you play it, and another that plays when you attack with it. Minella’s credits included several species of dinosaur, which is appropriate if the expansion is based on the zone fromWorld of WarCraft.The Un’Goro Crater dates back to vanillaWoW, and had a“Land of the Lost”theme that included massive dinosaurs, a volcano crawling with Fire Elementals, and other prehistoric beasts. There were also quests involving collecting various colors of power crystals, and several references to classic Nintendo games likeSuper Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, andThe Legend of Zelda.Although the NPC Linken was removed during theCataclysmexpansion, Larion and Muigin still have a place in the Crater.
RecentHearthStoneexpansions have gone back and forth between standalone story expansions likeOne Night in Karazhanand general expansions likeThe Mean Streets of Gadgetzan.IfUn’Gorois indeed the next update forHearthStone, it should be a story expansion, meaning all players will be able to get the same cards at the same time without relying on random drops from card packs.
Hearthstone: Lost Secrets of Un’Goro could be the next expansion coming later this year[VG 24/7]
