Blizzard has announced its first free-to-play, collectible card game called Hearthstone Heroes of Warcraft.
Watch the debut trailer inside.
Blizzard’s Team five, made up of 15 developers who got together to create a smaller, more experimental experience than the company is known for.
You will be playing as five World Of Warcraft classes, such as the mage, rogue and warrior. Playing matches earns you packs of cards but being a free-to-play game you can also purchase them in-game for about a dollar. The game’s multiplayer is power by Battle.net.
There’s also a card crafting mechanic. In the game you play as a hero, picking a class and creating a deck. Using the crafting system, you can disenchant unwanted cards to receive Arcane Dust, which you can use to craft a card you actually want.
Hearthstone is set for release on PC, Mac and iPad this year. A beta is planned for the summer.
