Blizzard announced today that rare "Golden Heroes" will be coming to Hearthstone with the game's next patch.
Golden cards already exist in the game as variants to regular cards, with the appeal to them being rarity and animated art on the card's face. With the update, the game's nine heroes will also receive animations with their gold variants.
"When you hit 500 wins in Ranked Play mode with any given Hero, that particular Hero will become golden permanently," said Blizzard. Players can track their progress with any given Hero "quickly and easily on the deck selection screen in Ranked Play mode."
The Golden Heroes will join unlockable card back designs recently revealed by Blizzard. Like the card backs, the Golden Heroes will be purely cosmetic, with "unique animations to their portrait and Hero Power."
Hearthstone, the card battle game based on the World of Warcraft universe, is still in beta and free to play, although packs of cards can be purchased through the game's storefront. Purchasing card packs can be done through spending the in-game currency earned by finishing daily quests, winning online matches, and completing arena battles. For the impatient, cards can also be bought with real money.
Unlike random golden cards, Golden Heroes cannot be purchased at this time, and must instead be earned.
