We didn't even know we wanted a Hearthstone pop-up book until now

Full of "wit and whimsy".

Blizzard is releasing a Hearthstone pop-up book.

This "marvel of creativity and paper engineering" - imaginatively entitled "The Hearthstone Pop-Up Book" - will be written by Simon Arizpe and illustrated by Hearthstone artist, Mike Sass.

"Enter the tavern, take your seat by the fire, and tuck into The Hearthstone Pop-Up Book, a celebration of Blizzard Entertainment's acclaimed collectible card game," states the description on Amazon (thanks, PC Gamer).

"Embark on an exhilarating journey into the world of Blizzard Entertainment's Hearthstone. Take your place alongside the nine major heroes, engage in a stunning arena battle, and enjoy a charming story told with the game's signature wit and whimsy.

"Unfold each page to reveal a spectacular central pop accompanied by booklets of smaller pops. The Hearthstone Pop-Up Book is a marvel of creativity and paper engineering-and a must-have for Hearthstone fans everywhere."

The Hearthstone Pop-Up Book is out on 2 October 2018 for £40 in the UK, although the US store gives a release date of 6 November 2018.

Hearthstone's next update will shake up the game for new players, offering a friendlier set of ranks to climb and a handful of new Classic cards.
