Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft should launch later this year for Android tablets, with versions for iPhone and Android phones coming in 2015, Blizzard has announced.
Regarding the Android tablet version, a Hearthstone blog explained: “The team has been hard at work to bring Hearthstone to that platform, and is making great progress. We’re taking things one step at a time and we’ve got our sights set on a release for Android tablets, our next new platform, before the end of the year; we’ve just got a few more mana crystals to polish and some Angry Chickens to chase down.”
Development of the iPhone and Android phone versions isn’t quite so advanced.
“We’re also close to having Hearthstone out to our iPhone and Android phone users, but it’s become clear that we need a little more time to get that version right,” wrote Blizzard. “While we have a build up and running internally, it needs a bit more work, and we don’t feel like we’ll be ready to share it with you until early next year. It’s very important to us that the phone experience for Hearthstone is just as accessible as the tablet and PC versions. One of the biggest challenges with that is revamping the user interface so it feels intuitive and offers the same quality Hearthstone experience, but this time from the palm of your hand.
“Releasing Hearthstone on iPhone and Android phones is something we’re incredibly excited about, but ultimately we’d rather take the extra time to make Hearthstone’s user interface on the phone customized to feel great for the platform, rather than a port that doesn’t take into account the limitations of a smaller screen.”
To date more than 20 million players have dabbled with Hearthstone across PC and iPad. Expect more on the card battler at BlizzCon next month.
