Blizzard Debuts Hearthstone “Hearth And Home” Animated Short At Gamescom 2017
Blizzard Entertainment has long since pulled out the stops when it comes to high production value trailers and promotional videos. Whether it’s an Overwatch animated series, a Heroes of the Storm hero reveal, or a Hearthstone update trailer, you know it’s going to be good.
During their Gamescom presentation yesterday, the studio debuted Hearth and Home, a Hearthstone-inspired musical animated short worthy of a Pixar movie.
“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.”
According to Blizzard, Hearth and Home will be the first in a series of Hearthstone-themed animated shorts and comics. “With Hearth and Home, our new animated short, we aimed to capture the wonder and magic of Hearthstone—in the Tavern’s welcoming interior, in its colorful patrons, and of course in their catchy song,” says Senior VP of Story and Franchise Development Lydia Bottegoni. “We’re looking forward to sharing more tales from the Hearthstone Tavern featuring Ava and her friends in the months ahead.”
And now, without further ado, we present to you Hearth and Home.
