Hearthstone Pupdate – January 2019

Blizzard has just released a very unique update. Instead of talking about the game, they take a look at some of the Hearthstone teams’s pets – dogs and cats alike.

If you’re looking for your daily dose of eye bleach, this post should provide it!

A lot of magic, machinations, and memeing go on behind closed doors at the Hearthstone development team. An assistant (or several) is often required. So without further ado, meet the good boys and girls of the Hearthstone development team!

Administrative

Kippen is Organized since he is on the Administrative team! If you need proof of that, just look at how neatly he keeps his tail tucked in when he’s lying down.

Production

Toby helps wrangle the team up and keep them in line so production moves like clockwork. He’s also really good at math.

Art

Mini Golden Retriever Harley helps with the art outsourcing when necessary. Otherwise, he is busy with the most important task of the day: napping.

Mishu_Cat.jpg

Mishu brings a different perspective to things since she’s a cat, and that’s helpful for projects that she and Harley collaborate on. She also wants you to remember that out of all the cats in Hearthstone, she is Best Cat.

Business

Gary works on Hearthstone business things. Don’t let the fluff fool you—he is one shrewd businessdog.

Design

Leela.jpg

Leela lives far from the office and only comes in for special projects with the design team. Leela staunchly believes that there’s no such thing as a bad idea, which is why she continues to insist on a “Beg for Treats” emote option.

Engineering

Winston.jpg

When it comes to Hearthstone, this dog might lose a little, but he Wins-a-Ton. Keeping everyone company in the Engineering department, Winston’s latest project is discovering how to automate behind-the-ear scratches.

Business Intelligence

Sunny.jpg

With the perfect name to match his shining disposition, Sunny brightens our days with his keen insights into all things business intelligence.

Quality Assurance

Nimbus can usually be found hard at work testing the game in the QA department. Gary and Nimbus have a long-standing friendly rivalry over who is the better cloud.

These are just some of the pets who support Hearthstone behind the scenes! Want to see more Hearthstone pupdates? Let us know on Twitter or Facebook!

    Dudes, this content here is free. Why do you have to complain about this pet-stuff? I find it awesome.

    Most complainers complain because their life is just bad. I feel sad for these people.
