Hearthstone — бесплатная онлайн-игра в жанре цифровой коллекционной карточной игры, разработанная и изданная Blizzard Entertainment в 2014 году для PC (Windows, macOS) и мобильных платформ (iOS и Android) с поддержкой кросс-платформенной игры. Действие разворачивается во вселенной Warcraft: игроки собирают колоды из 30 карт, выбирают героя с уникальной способностью и в пошаговом режиме тратят кристаллы маны на заклинания и существ, стремясь уничтожить героя противника. Игра достигла значительного коммерческого успеха, превысив отметку в 100 миллионов зарегистрированных игроков к ноябрю 2018 года, и стала заметной дисциплиной в киберспорте с турнирами на денежные призы. Новые карты регулярно выходят в составе дополнений, которые можно приобрести за внутриигровое золото или с помощью микротранзакций.
Will we ever see Switch 2 versions of Diablo 2 and Diablo 4? For now, Blizzard refuses to answer But surely it's an inevitability. There was a conspicuous absence during the Diablo anniversary 'spotlight' broadcast yesterday: no mention of a Switch 2 release for Diablo 4 or for Diablo 2: Resurrected. But when I raised the question of a Switch 2 release in a group Diablo 2: Resurrected interview, it was commandeered by a Blizzard PR who explained to me the company had nothing to say on the matter - either about a Switch 2 version of Diablo 2: Resurrected or Diablo 4.

Joy Toy, a popular figurine production company, has announced a line of small-scale Starcraft models as part of a collaboration with Activision Blizzard. In a blog post to the official Joy Toy website, the company announced it'll be making models for the Zerg, Protos, and Terran. Exactly what those models are remains a mystery for now, as they're silhouetted in the announcement post.
"No, this is not a Hearthstone 2" - Blizzard squashes Hearthstone sequel suspicions after hyping a big BlizzCon 2026 reveal But there is something bigger than usual coming. No, Blizzard is not preparing a Hearthstone 2 announcement for BlizzCon 2026, I've been told, but there is something significant being announced later this year. The company aroused suspicion for a sequel during a Hearthstone broadcast this afternoon, while announcing a Cataclysm-themed expansion for the World of Warcraft card game. The company teased that a major announcement was coming at BlizzCon 2026 in September, and for something bigger than usual.
