Blizzard Entertainment invites Android gamers to a friendly fireside duel—Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is now available for Android tablet devices! Players in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can now download the game for free on Google Play, with the worldwide rollout on Google Play and the Amazon Appstore for Android coming in the days ahead.
"Hearthstone's intuitive interface and approachable design make it a perfect fit for tablets, and we've put a lot of effort into ensuring players have a great experience on a wide range of Android devices," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We're excited to welcome Android players to the Hearthstone community, and we're looking forward to bringing the game to even more mobile platforms—including phones—in the future."
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a fast-paced, easy-to-learn online 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, take on crafty A.I. opponents in the Curse of Naxxramas Adventure (sold separately), or challenge your friends to a duel.
Hearthstone players on Android tablets have access to all of the exciting features and content available in the Windows, Mac, and iPad versions of the game—including the recently released first expansion, Goblins vs Gnomes, which adds more than 120 new cards and an all-new type of minon, Mechs. Players can purchase Goblins vs Gnomes card packs in the in-game shop for gold or real-world currency, earn cards as Arena rewards, or craft them using Arcane Dust.
To celebrate the launch on Android and help new players start their collection, anyone who starts one game in any mode on their Android tablet will receive one free Classic card pack from the original Hearthstone set.
In addition to the Android tablet version, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is available now on iPad and Windows and Mac PCs, with iPhone and Android phone versions in the works.
