Blizzard Releases Hearthstone From Beta
We warned you that time was running out to get your beta-exclusive golden Gelbin card. Blizzard has announced that its Warcraft card game, Hearthstone, is now in full release.
The title, which has been in beta since summer 2013, is available on PC and Mac. Support for iPads is coming soon, and Blizzard is working on versions for Android, iPhone, and Windows tablets.
For more on Hearthstone, check out a recent feature written by PC editor Daniel Tack.
Our Take
Congratulations, Blizzard, you cracked my resolve and got me to spend money on a digital card game. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity for the beta-exclusive golden Gelbin card, and it seems I made the purchase with only days to spare. I’ll be spending more time with Hearthstone, and I look forward to seeing how the meta game evolves.
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.
