A Journey Through Hearthstone's History - IGN (2019-09-16)

2008[]

June or earlier

  • Team 5 is created, and development of Hearthstone begins.[1] Ben Brode states that his first records are from June 2008, but that "full-on development didn't start for a while after that".[2][3]

2009[]

Deadlines for StarCraft II cause all of Team 5 except Eric Dodds and Ben Brode to be reassigned to that game for around a year. Dodds and Brode begin prototyping, rapidly iterating through myriad designs.[4]

2010[]

Dodds and Brode produce the first working version of Hearthstone, using Flash.[4] The rest of Team 5 return from working on StarCraft II to begin developing Hearthstone from this basic prototype into the full game.[4]

2012[]

Following mixed responses from within the company to Hearthstone's initial announcement, in December 2012 the game achieves "broad exposure" across Blizzard, with a substantial portion of employees playing Hearthstone, and beginning to get "really excited" for the game.[1]

June 5

  • With recently unveiled planned class cards for Curse of Naxxramas showing a tendency not to state when certain effects are random, Ben Brode releases a blog sharing the team's approach to the word 'random', explaining that by not explicitly stating the randomness of effects in 'hidden' game areas, groundwork can be laid for future shortening of text. Despite this explanation, continued feedback from players finding the new cards' descriptions confusing and ambiguous eventually lead the team to alter their stance, with an announcement a few days later that the word 'random' will be added to the cards' text.

Curse of Naxxramas - where the fun never dies!

October 21

  • The first Hearthstone infographic is released, revealing statistics including that the game has so far been played for 2 billion hours in total; that 69 million Hounds have been unleashed; and that the longest ever Play mode win streak was 24 games.[10]

  • Blizzard announce that they have recently banned a number of accounts found to be engaging in win-trading.[14] Following the recent mass-ban of botting accounts, the announcement is used to further emphases Blizzard's commitment to "fair play" in Hearthstone, and encourage players to abide by the rules.

That’s where you come in! Cast your vote on what flavor text makes it into Hearthstone for the Legendary card, C’Thun!" While voting on card reveals has become common practice for new releases, this is the first time players have been able to determine actual in-game content, albeit only flavor text.
