Blizzard Entertainment’s acclaimed free-to-play
strategy card game now available on iOS® and Android™ mobile
phones
Calling all mobile duelists, it’s time to take your decks on the
go—Hearthstone®: Heroes of Warcraft™ is now playable on iOS® and
Android™ mobile phones. This version features an all-new interface
specially crafted for smaller screens, making it easier than ever
to keep the fun of Hearthstone at your fingertips.
“We’re excited to welcome mobile gamers to the Hearthstone
community,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard
Entertainment. “Hearthstone’s quick, super-accessible gameplay is
perfect for gaming on the go, and with the mobile versions it’s
incredibly easy to jump into a match and have some fun.”
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a fast-paced, easy-to-learn
digital card game for players of every skill level. Hearthstone
offers a wide variety of ways to play, whether you want to prove
your prowess in ranked matches, test your chops as a deck-builder
in the Arena, battle crafty A.I. opponents to win new cards in the
Solo Adventures, or challenge your friends to a duel.
The mobile version of Hearthstone brings all of the exciting
features and content available in the Windows®, Mac®, and tablet
versions of the game, including Goblins vs Gnomes™, Curse of
Naxxramas™, and the newly released Blackrock Mountain™. As with the
other versions of the game, players will have full access to their
existing card collection when they log in to the game on their
mobile phones.
In celebration of Hearthstone now being more portable than ever,
anyone who completes one game in any mode on their mobile phone
will receive one free Classic card pack from the original
Hearthstone set. (Players who download Hearthstone on their iPad®
or Android tablet and finish a game for the first time also receive
a free Classic card pack.) Win or lose, that free card pack is
yours just by playing a game in Play, Arena, or Practice mode.

head to the Google Play™ store or Amazon Appstore for Android, or
Apple® App Store™ for iOS, to download the game for free and start
dueling!
