During the exhibition, PAX East, Blizzard has announced its
brand new design for desktop and mobile devices. Novelty called Hearthstone:
Heroes of Warcraft and is a free-style card game Magic: The Gathering.
The basic idea of the game is to combine the fun pastime
with deep strategy and, of course, collecting virtual cards based on the
universe of World of Warcraft, from the Murloc to Deathwing.
In Heroes of Warcraft will be and the things that simply can
not be implemented in real life. For example, the cards here can not only buy
and win, but also to create their own: for the programmers developed a special
system of crafting. Themselves the battle will take place on the flat
"table" with three-dimensional graphics and effects. The cards will
be able to "talk", commenting on the event. And the players are able
to greet and tease each other, selecting a voice, "emotion" from the
list.
Working on Heroes of Warcraft is quite small by the
standards of Blizzard team, consisting of only 15 people. Studio
representatives stressed that while Hearthstone - unusually small for a game of
scale, it will be done at the same level of quality as the other projects.
Hearthstone: Heroes of WarCraft is due out on Windows, Mac
and iPad before the end of this year. All interested persons may request to
participate in the beta testing, which will begin in the summer.
