History[edit | edit source]
Development[edit | edit source]
Game director Tyler Bielman talks about the development of Perils in Paradise:[3]
- Hearthstone's expansions are typically led by a specific team member who chooses a theme. For Perils in Paradise, Bielman revealed to esports.gg that the initial theme used to be all about pirates. However, this later evolved into the broader concept of Hearthstone on holiday. Now, the expansion features beloved Warcraft characters on vacation. Pirates are still included, of course. The expansion lead is Sage Georgiou.
- "It kind of started as a pirates theme," Bielman said. "Sort of a swashbuckling pirates kind of vibe. And then gradually, it kind of morphed into something that's a little bit broader than that. When the team came up with the idea of Hearthstone — but on holiday — you can sort of imagine it. You can sort of close your eyes and you can see it and you can feel what it would be like to take the iconic Warcraft characters on vacation."
[edit | edit source]
On June 16, 2024, the official Hearthstone Twitter posted a teaser image with the quote "Your flight departs tomorrow at 10AM PT."[4]
On June 17, the expansion was announced and new cards were revealed.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Perils in Paradise is the first expansion to receive no cinematic trailer. Developers cite that the reasoning for this is the poor reception that the Whizbang's Workshop cinematic trailer received, and instead opted for the "Flight safety" video featuring community members.[5]
- Perils in Paradise is also the first expansion to not contain a new battlefield.
- Sage Georgiou is the set lead for Perils in Paradise.[3]
