We’ve been longing for another Warcraft game, this time on mobile since the rumors of a mobile game started popping up in 2017. However, with all the turmoil facing Blizzard Entertainment recently, we thought it would be another title that we’d never see realized. However, there may be hope for a Warcraft mobile game yet.
Blizzard just released an announcement stating that a Warcraft Mobile game will be released this year! This announcement came in Blizzard’s quarterly report. During this press release, Activision-Blizzard also mentioned that they would be releasing some substantial new content for the entire Warcraft franchise, including new experiences in World of Warcraft and Hearthstone, and finally, the long-awaited mobile Warcraft game.
During a previous press release held in August 2021, Activision-Blizzard announced that they had a few Warcraft mobile experiences in the final stages of development. However, they’ve been very secretive about what these experiences may be so far. To date, they haven’t released any information on the genre or even what element of the massive Warcraft universe will be covered by the mobile release. There is, however, a rumor that suggests one of the mobile games might be a Pokemon GO-styled AR game. Are you intrigued yet? We sure are.
The company has been having some serious issues lately. Not only are they facing serious charges of sexual harassment, among others, but they’ve also been losing players from World of Warcraft due to the playing style being too ‘restrictive’ compared to other online games. New content, experiences and a mobile version could be just what they need to bring new life to the Warcraft universe.
Following the announcement of Microsoft acquiring Activision-Blizzard, we can only hope to see more improvement to a game and universe that’s been loved by many since 1994, when the first Warcraft game was released. We can’t wait to see what the future holds and be sure we’ll be ready for the Warcraft mobile game once it launches. Until then, check out this list of potential Activision Blizzard games coming to Games Pass.
