World of Warcraft Fans Should Be Excited for Hearthstone’s 10-Year Anniversary

With Hearthstone’s 10th anniversary rapidly approaching, fans of both World of Warcraft and the card game it inspired have a lot to look forward to.

Hearthstone just revealed its plans for the card game’s 10-year anniversary, including a collaboration event with World of Warcraft. Once the celebrations begin, players can score some free cards and cosmetics in Hearthstone, plus new collectibles in World of Warcraft, including the Fiery Hearthsteed mount.

March 11 marks 10 years since Hearthstone was first released. Blizzard’s Warcraft-inspired card game is celebrating the milestone in a big way, with an anniversary event, 13 brand-new cards given to all players for free, and several Twitch drops, alongside many other exciting updates coming in the near future.

However, World of Warcraft fans have a lot of reasons to be excited about the Hearthstone anniversary as well. From March 11 through 18, players can enjoy a Hearthstone event in World of Warcraft. According to the blog post announcing Hearthstone’s anniversary plans, fans can seek out Hearthstone matches in the game’s capital cities, defeat iconic minions in special encounters, and earn special Hearthstone rewards. Additionally, players can get the Fiery Hearthsteed flying mount in WoW simply by logging into Hearthstone once between March 11 and May 14.
