Gamescom 2017: Hearthstone’s Hearth and Home animated short

As part of its Gamescom presentation today, Blizzard has just revealed a new “musical animated short” for card battler Hearthstone. It centers on the backstory Harth Stonebrew’s tavern, and it’s Blizzard, so it’s cute all on its own.

“The Tavern is a warm and welcoming place full of laughter, camaraderie, and good-natured competition, and home to a charming cast of characters assembled from every corner of Azeroth. This includes vibrant and (mostly) friendly folks such as Malto, the kindly old mage; and Sarge, the Tavern’s resident mouse. The personalities in this ethereal inn draw inspiration from the many types of Hearthstone players who enjoy Hearthstone in real life. Whether they’re seasoned pros or just getting into the game like the young protagonist Ava, there’s a place in the Tavern for everyone.”

Expect more shorts and comics coming, Blizz says. We just want to see more singing gobbos. Enjoy!
