Today’s special: punchy tavern tunes meet stirring strings in two new songs from Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft that you can listen to (and download for free on our media page).
Hearthstone competitors sit down in a bustling alehouse filled with onlookers, and ponder their next plays to the sounds of “Bad Reputation,” a song you’ll hear plenty of during your duels. You might also recognize “Hearthstone Revealed” from the game’s cinematic trailer, viewable here. Listen closely to both tracks, particularly if you’re a long-time Warcraft player, and see if you can pick out a few familiar refrains.
For even more detail about the composition of these songs, head over to Destructoid to read an interview with Hearthstone Lead Designer Eric Dodds and Composers Peter McDonnell and Jason Hayes.
