Hearthstone is a very simple and “clean” game, though accessibility is a matter that always requires attention. Hearthstone Access mod noticed this need and made the game accessible for players who are challenged in terms of vision. Those players who needed screen reader softwares and keyboard commands appreciated this work by GuideDev since some time. GuideDev used to keep the mod updated since 2021 August, but he is now ending the support.

Due to his personal schedule being too heavy, GuideDev announced the end of support from his side. But Hearthstone is a game that receives frequent updates, so this means that tools of accessibility obtained by this mod will not be carried over to upcoming versions. Blizzard noticed this thanks to a forum post that speaks about the need for accessibility features.

Hearthstone developers confirmed that they previously worked with GuideDev and now they are intending to make the features native to the game. Bad news is that players who need these features will not be able to play the game since the mod will not be working after a couple updates at most.
