Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, the free-to-play trading card game from Blizzard, won't enter Test Season 2 just yet, as the studio confirmed that new issues require fixing, meaning it still stay in Test Season 1 until they're solved.

Hearthstone was revealed last year by Blizzard as a new online experience focusing on trading cards and player vs. player battles.

The game has since been in a closed beta stage and the studio promised to continue the testing this month, ahead of an open beta.

As of yet, however, Blizzard has been forced to maintain the current Test Season 1 period, as new problems are preventing the team from progressing to Test Season 2.

According to the announcement on the official forums, more details should appear in the near future, so stay tuned.
