Hearthstone: 25 million players, record revenue in December and the iPhone is still missing

Blizzard’s online card game Hearthstone now has 25 million registered accounts and recorded its highest revenue month in December. However, the port to the iPhone is still missing, which many have high hopes for.

Reason for success 1: Hearthstone came to the tablet.

20 million registered players – that was the last number heard from Blizzard in September. It has now risen to 25 million. Thanks to the expansion “Goblins vs Gnomes” and the release for Android tablets, December 2014 was the strongest month for Hearthstone so far.

Together with Destiny, the other new franchise at Activision, Hearthstone has generated 850 million USD.

In 2015, more Hearthstone content is expected, including new expansions and adventures. The port for the iPhones and Android phones is also still pending. Blizzard expects a lot from this.

And they are also winning awards

And as a bonus: At the DICE Awards in Vegas, a kind of video game Oscar, they also won the award for the best Mobile Game and the best Strategy/Simulation Game of the year on Thursday night.
