Blizzard has launched Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft for PC.

Loading

The free-to-play collectible card game was in various beta stages for many months, but is now available in an officially released capacity for PC (and Mac; a mobile version is due for iOS and Android platforms sometime down the line). The developer made significant changes to the game before officially announcing the launch, tweaking a couple of cards, reworking how Ranked Play is structured, launching golden heroes and a new card back, adding a reconnect feature and region switching, and fixing a host of bugs. We have more details on the changes here. Hearthstone was announced just under a year ago with a tentative release window of "soon." You can download it on Battle.net .
