Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft enters open beta in North America

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, Blizzard Entertainment's collectible card game, is now in open beta in North America, the developer announced today.

The open beta will go live in other regions "within the next few days," according to a tweet from the official Blizzard North American Customer Support account.

Those who'd like to play can sign up at the game's official website. Features ready for the open beta include a ranked play mode, an option to play with those on your local network or to pair up with those you've recently battled against.

"As this is an open beta test, we are still very much in the testing phase as we prepare for the official launch," Blizzard's announcement reads. "We look forward to your thoughts as you continue to check out the game, but please hold on official reviews until the game has crossed that final finish line and we can properly celebrate!"

The game's closed beta went live for PC last August. Be sure to read Polygon's hands-on impressions and interview with the developers to learn more about Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, which is also headed to Android and iOS later this year.
