The Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft card battler, which recently appeared on Android tablets, has entered the top 100 most profitable games in 19 countries. The game will bring Blizzard about $ 200 million for the fiscal year, predicts the analytical company Cowen & Company.
The game started successfully, but there was a period when its revenue fell. The implementation of the title on Android tablets helped her to open a “second wind”. Now in the markets of Canada and the UK, the game occupies respectively 10th and 14th places in the top of the most profitable games (according to the App Annie rating). In the USA, it is on the 17th position. In terms of revenue, the game has already surpassed such a popular title as FIFA Ultimate Team from EA Sports – despite the fact that it is available both on tablets and on smartphones of key platforms.
