Heroes of Warcraft: Hearthstone – Origins, design and how to actually pronounce the name of the game

It’s a big year for Blizzard. They’ve got not only a new expansion on the way for World of Warcraft, but their MOBA game Heroes of the Storm is shaping up nicely and nearing the finish line for beta testing. Their biggest new property however might just be Hearthstone, where players swap axes for cards and sit down to battle.

Over at Blizzcon last week, I spoke to game designer Ben Brode and producer Yong Woo about the card game. The duo had plenty to say about the game, from balance, design, visuals and how to actually pronounce the game title.

HEARTHSTONE! PS, we’ve hidden a few Hearthstone beta codes in the video. Grab ‘em before they’re gone!

      Should work now. There seems to have been a tech hiccup. Apologies about that.

    Didn’t see the mythical betakey in the video but actually found the interview really entertaining and informative. Some good questions there. Blizzard design team seems so awesome and chilled 😀

      Have you disabled annotations on your Youtube account? That might be it.
