Hearthstone is Blizzard's free-to-play digital collectible card game, built around matchmade 1v1 duels using Warcraft-themed hero decks rather than a persistent shared world; it remains actively supported with regular card-set expansions.

Catalog note

Not a persistent MMO

  • This catalog entry appears to be a miscategorization: Hearthstone is a matchmade 1v1 card game with no persistent shared world, not an MMO.
  • If collectible card game strategy appeals to you, it's one of the most successful and long-running digital card games ever made.
  • Worth knowing about for fans of card games researching Blizzard's history in the genre.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Matches are short 1v1 duels — there's no persistent shared world or ongoing server population of the kind this site catalogs.
  • If this profile is being used to evaluate MMO-style shared-world features, this entry doesn't fit the genre this site is built around.
  • Competitive deckbuilding can require a meaningful card collection, built up through play or purchases.
