Tapping Into The Minds Behind Blizzard's Hearthstone
The collectible card game market has exploded in the digital space
thanks to the advent of free-to-play models, and Blizzard is polishing
its own addition to the genre. Hearthstone, which is built upon the
popular Warcraft aesthetic and mythos, has just entered closed
beta.
In the video interview below, you hear from
executive producer Hamilton Chu and lead artist Ben Thompson about what
sets Hearthstone apart from other collectible card games, how players
will safely spend money during the beta, and the plans for launching the
game later this year. And, yes, there are plans for a mobile version,
but you need to watch the video for the details.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
