According to news from foreign game information media on December 20, Blizzard recently announced on its official website that the public beta of "Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft", which was originally scheduled to open in December, will be postponed to 2014. At the same time, Blizzard also stated that it will issue more invitation codes for internal testing.
As Blizzard's first free strategy card online game, "Hearthstone", which is in closed beta testing, is deeply loved by players, so the news of postponing the public beta is somewhat regrettable. Hearthstone Production Director Jason Chayes said: "We believe that rather than rushing the game into public beta, it is a more correct decision to postpone the test time to ensure that the game is ready for testing. Although we mentioned at BlizzCon that we hope to open a public beta this month, in fact we have not reached that point."
"While the development team has been working hard to ensure that the game can meet players before the end of the year, our first priority is to ensure that the game can be released perfectly and that every player can download and play at the same time after the open beta opens." He added.
At the same time, Blizzard also stated that it has issued a new batch of invitation codes to players who applied to join the "Hearthstone" closed beta before December 16. Players who have applied can check their email to see if they have been selected. The application for internal testing will end on January 7. At that time, selected players can use their Battle.net account to log in to the game to participate in the internal testing of "Hearthstone".
Chayes also emphasized that "Hearthstone" in closed beta is only a semi-finished product, and players may encounter many bugs and problems. He hopes players can report bugs and give feedback through the game forum. "Thank you players for your patience and enthusiasm. Without the feedback you provided, "Hearthstone" would not have arrived so quickly. Please continue to tell us your thoughts and suggestions. The game you are looking forward to will meet you in the near future."
