Blizzard just announced a new upcoming free-to-play digital collectible card game for PC, Macintosh and iPad named Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. The game, set in the Warcraft universe, will be accessible to anyone and will let players choose to play as one of nine epic Warcraft heroes, and then take turns playing cards from their customizable decks to cast potent spells, use heroic weapons or abilities, or summon powerful characters to crush their opponent

The game has just started the beta registration process and will be available only in US at the beginning, with other regions unlocked after this initial beta-test phase. The title will be presented this weekend at PAX East, giving attendees the opportunity to try it, while its public beta will start very soon.

"We looooooove collectible card games and have been playing them since our Silicon & Synapse days," the Blizzard team wrote in its FAQ section. "Creating a digital strategy card game felt like a natural next step for us, so we put together a small team and have been hammering away at HearthStone for a while now."
