Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft Could Lead to StarCraft Card Game

In an interview with IGN, Blizzard chief creative officer Rob Pardo explained what Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft means for the future of Blizzard. It's the developer's first mobile game, its first free-to-play title, and its first collectible card game.

Pardo also explained that Hearthstone's success could lead to more Blizzard franchises getting their own CCG.

"If [Hearthstone] does really well, we have talked about the possibility you could see a StarCraft collectible card game," Pardo said. "I just think you'd design it really different because you'd want it to be suited to that franchise. You want it to feel right."

For the full interview, which breaks down the complexities of balancing a fast-paced card game, as well as how it struggles with accessibility and depth, you can watch it here:
