[dropcap style=”style1″]F[/dropcap]ollowing Hearthstone’s release on iPhone and Android last month, Blizzard announced today 30 million people have played its digital strategy card game.
Vietgame.asia – The announcement was made on Hearthstone‘s official Twitter account: “BY THE POWER OF RAGNAROS, 30 million players have joined us by the hearth! Thanks for pulling up a chair!” The Tweet was accompanied by the celebratory image seen below.Last we heard, 20 million people had played Hearthstone. That number was reported in mid-September, meaning an additional 10 million people have played in the last seven and a half months.
The player base likely saw increased growth last month when Hearthstone came to iPhone and Android devices.
First announced back in November 2013, the iPhone and Android Hearthstone versions were expected to be out in 2014. They ended up being delayed until 2015, although iPad and Android tablet versions were released in April and December of last year, respectively.
The mobile edition of Hearthstone will feature a new interface designed for small screens, but players will still have full access to their existing decks when they sign in, and it will offer all the same features and content as the PC and tablet versions of the game.
The iOS version of Hearthstone is available from the iTunes App Store, while the Android release can be found at Google Play and Amazon.[su_icon_panel background=”transparent” border=”1px none #cccccc” shadow=”0px 0px 0px #eeeeee” icon=”icon: html5″ icon_color=”#1f6dc9″ icon_size=”70″ url=”http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/”][/su_icon_panel][su_icon_panel background=”transparent” border=”1px none #cccccc” shadow=”0px 0px 0px #eeeeee” icon=”icon: facebook-square” icon_color=”#1f6dc9″ icon_size=”70″ url=”https://www.facebook.com/Hearthstone”][/su_icon_panel][su_icon_panel background=”transparent” border=”1px none #cccccc” shadow=”0px 0px 0px #eeeeee” icon=”icon: android” icon_color=”#1f6dc9″ icon_size=”70″ url=”https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone&hl=en”][/su_icon_panel][su_icon_panel background=”transparent” border=”1px none #cccccc” shadow=”0px 0px 0px #eeeeee” icon=”icon: apple” icon_color=”#1f6dc9″ icon_size=”70″ url=”http://itunes.apple.com/app/hearthstone-heroes-warcraft/id625257520?mt=8″][/su_icon_panel]Thanks, IGN.
