Today on Blizzard’s Hearthstone Fireside Chat they revealed that they plan to release Hearthstone for Android Tablets in Late 2014, they just have “a few more mana crystals to polish and some Angry Chickens to chase down.” Meanwhile the iPhone and Android mobile release won’t be seen until early 2015:
“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. 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 taken into account the limitations of a smaller screen.”
So there you have it. No specific dates have been released yet, but since it’s Blizzard you can expect the old “it’s ready when it’s ready” response.
Are you an iPhone or Android tablet / phone user who’s excited to play some Hearthstone on the go? Let us know in the comments.
