Hearthstone Miniset teaser: Naxx-out for real?

Hearthstone's socials have just posted a teaser that implies Silvermoon and Naxxramas could be the set of the March of the Lich King Mini-set. Will Arthas siege Silvermoon in the upcoming Hearthstone Mini-set? Let's go over some theories.

2/9 UPDATE: We were right! The Return to Naxxramas Miniset announcement is out! The new content takes place in the legendary necropolis and brings Sindragosa as the new Colossal minion for Death Knight. Read everything about it here.

The much-awaited Hearthstone Mini-set for the March of the Lich King expansion seems to be knocking on our door, literally. Today at Blizzard o'clock -10am PDT-, the Hearthstone Twitter account posted what is most likely a teaser related to the new content.

Ever since Murder at Castle Nathria, I've learned to look for clues everywhere, and today I was lucky. The Alt-Text for the images reveals valuable information.

The piece of information we see is that the city in the images is Silvermoon and that the slime in the second image is "withering the surrounding trees". Plague vibes, right? Moreover, the Superman references match exactly with what we see in the final picture, a flying city. Could it be Naxxramas?

It is no secret that Naxxramas' adventure is iconic to Hearthstone, but what does it have to do with the upcoming Miniset? Well, first of all, a flying necropolis is an incredible fit for the current Undead lore. Maybe that is what's projecting the shadows over Silvermoon?

Moreover, in World of Warcraft lore, Arthas invaded the elves' city in an attempt to resurrect Kel'Thuzad with the Sunwell power. Could Kel'Thuzad be one of the main characters in the next Hearthstone Mini-set?

Another character that we might see reappear in Hearthstone with this Mini-set is Sindragosa, in the form of a Colossal minion. Some months ago, Hearthstone introduced a hotfix that read: "Adds Colossal minions for cards like Lady Prestor".

This seemed odd back then, but we know that Hearthstone makes cards way in advance of their release, could that be a Mini-set related hotfix? With no Colossal Dragons in the game, and with a brand new Death Knight Class with no Colossals at their disposal, maybe that patch was in preparation for the arrival of Sindragos to fulfill that role.

According to my speculations, Hearthstone should announce the next Mini-set tomorrow. With that, we should see at least one of the main characters and know when the content would go live.

Usually, Hearthstone leaves a small window between announcing and launching Mini-sets, that's why I think that the new content should be available as soon as next week.

That's all for now, but stay tuned to Esports.gg for more Hearthstone news and updates. See you next time, in Silvermoon.
