Those desperately looking for a beta invite to Blizzard's Hearstone will be able to give up that search, as the title today enters open beta in North America, with other regions to follow over the next few days.

The beta can be accessed from the title's official site, although currently only the North America client is available for download.

Existing players will also be happy to know that Blizzard do not intend to wipe cards moving forward, leaving everyone free to build their decks.
