Blizzard has revealed that the Android tablet version of its Gold Award-winning free to play digital CCG Hearthstone should be hitting the Play Store before the year is out.

In a post on the battle.net blog, the dev said "We're taking things one step at a time and we've got our sights set on a release for Android tablets, our next new platform, before the end of the year; we've just got a few more mana crystals to polish and some Angry Chickens to chase down."

The news is a little less rosy for anyone who wants to play the game on a smartphone. "We're also close to having Hearthstone out to our iPhone and Android phone users, but it's become clear that we need a little more time to get that version right."

"While we have a build up and running internally, it needs a bit more work, and we don't feel like we'll be ready to share it with you until early next year."

You can check out some more information about the success of Hearthstone on the blog post, including an infographic that's chock full of numbers and pictures and facts.
