Ben Brode, Hearthstone's ex-Game Director, was in a video today with his company Second Dinner showing off three new members added to their staff. One of them, Kyle Harrison, was previously on the Hearthstone team as a Technical Artist. Early on, Kyle was responsible for some of the game's Golden Art., spell effects, and clickables on the different game boards.
Second Dinner was founded last year by ex-employees from the Hearthstone team. The newly announced team members, Kyle Harrison, YoungWook, and Peter, are joining Ben Brode, Hamilton Chu, Mike Schweitzer, Yong Woo, and Jomaro Kindred to work on a game in the Marvel universe.

Cant wait to try their games. such a good group of people.
Exciting acquisition by Second Dinner. Shame that the Hearthstone team is continuing to lose some of their oldest people, but this new year feels like it's going to be such a refresh for the game I don't think it matters that much.
Good luck to Second Dinner on their development with Marvel!
Right, almost forgot they r working on a Marvel game. Pls no mobile game, thanks!
Looking forward to see what they produce. I suppose from one perspective it sucks that all these people responsible for making Hearthstone what it is leaving Blizzard, but from another it's cool that there will be some people who may take Hearthstone in a different and better direction.
At first I thought that "YoungWook" was just a misspelling of "Yong Woo"
@NovaShock I haven't seen or heard anything else about the game than that it's Marvel related. People tend to think it might be a card game due to the history of the team but I wouldn't expect that. But who knows.
@TheDarkLord You're not alone :D
Let's hope they make something truly incredible!
