Hearthstone has reached 100 million players

The free digital card game from Blizzard Entertainments is developed against the expectations of becoming one of the most popular online games in the world. In a press release, the company reports today that it has crossed the threshold of 100 million players.

To celebrate the threshold of 100 million players, Blizzard is organizing a special event in the game from November 7th to 11th. Players who log in at this event will receive six free packs of the latest extension, The Boomsday Project. In addition, players will have the opportunity to complete a number of "Celebrate Players" event quests, which will allow them to win 500 gold coins.

Blizzard recently tackled the "new player experience" with which he tries to secure a bigger buffer between novice and experienced players. This allows newcomers to master the game more easily without sacrificing the competitive nature of the game.

Hearthstone follows a simple format in which players collect a deck of digital cards, with which they duel with others players or in various solo adventures. Hearthstone, thanks to its large community and great accessibility, has managed to become one of the largest games on multimedia platforms such as Twitch and YouTube. As a relatively simple game, Hearthstone consistently ranks among the best of these media platforms.
