Heroes of Skyrim, the first expansion for Bethesda's CCG The Elder Scrolls: Legends is now available. It adds over 150 new Skyrim-themed cards and some new game mechanics. You can play it on PC through Steam or Bethesda's proprietary launcher. The expansion is also available on tablets, while the iOS and Android phone versions are promised to come at a later date. Check out this release trailer:

This expansion comes with the 1.65 update for the game. Here's an excerpt from the rather lengthy changelog:

Arena Updates

Heroes of Skyrim cards have been added to the draft picks in Arena modes and they will appear at an increased frequency for a limited time.

Arena rewards are now a mix of Core and Heroes of Skyrim packs (at least one Heroes of Skyrim pack guaranteed). Once you reach level 50, your three-win rewards in Versus games (Casual and Ranked) will be from Heroes of Skyrim packs.

Arena ranks are being reset with the introduction of the Heroes of Skyrim set, applicable to all three modes of Solo Arena, Versus Arena, and Chaos Arena.

• Rank 1: Lowered by 3 ranks.
• Ranks 2-4: Lowered by 2 ranks.
• Ranks 5-6: Lowered by 1 rank.

Quests

Over a dozen new Daily Quests have been added for the Skyrim release, including goals for the Companions and the College of Winterhold. Some of these quests provide a pack of Heroes of Skyrim cards as rewards, the first time that our Daily Quest rewards have included packs.

Titles

Over a dozen new titles have been added to The Elder Scrolls: Legends with the release of Heroes of Skyrim. Here are some fun facts about these new delights for all you title chasers out there.

• You may already have some of these! We've added a few new titles that are based on previous Titles you might have previously earned.
• "The Centurion" counts your victories with all-neutral decks but not previous wins. Your tally starts now. Rev up those Dwemer!
• "The Dragonborn" includes one component you may already have earned: "The Dragonslayer". If not, there are lots more dragons in Skyrim!
• "The Master of Dragons" won't be earned if you have previously summoned 20 Dragons in one game (which would be an amazing feat). It starts counting now.

Card Changes

Several cards have had their targeting requirements changed from “an enemy creature” to “a creature”. These naturally flow from our recent change to make more abilities cancelable.

We took the opportunity to reduce unnecessary words and offer players a little extra gameplay flexibility and creative opportunity.

Note that these abilities are cancelable if desired, a change in how these cards play.

• Belligerent Giant ("an enemy support" does not change)
• Ash Servant
• Shocking Wamasu
• Spiteful Dremora
• Murkwater Witch
• Leaflurker
