Don't you guys have phones?

 

[BaneIsPain]

Is this out of season april fool's joke?

 

[Lanrutcon]

Hear me out.

...mobile app, needs a WoW subscription. Play your WoW character in a variety of minigames while on the toilet, or in the bus, or during your lunch break. Gatcha style card game? Pet battles? Rocket League WoW carts? Earn loot while on the go! and premium currency that you can use to pay your monthly sub, or at the cash shop.

Boom. Tap that mobile market.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Can't please PC fans with shitty remakes/remasters? Mobile it is then! Paying consumers on mobile are idiots anyway so they'll make plenty of cash especially in China.

 

[azertydu91]

First two comments nailed it.

Honestly I'm amazed it took them this long.

Warcraft Mobile seems like a no brainer to me, should've done this 10 years ago. It's not what "we" want, but it makes sense.

 

[Fake]

Good luck.

I think this is the perfect platform for the franchise going forward.

After all Warcraft 3: Reforged was phoned in.

 

[kirby007]

So Hearthstone is getting an expansion

 

[Xyphie]

I imagine it would be something Clash of Clans-esque. You send your peons to the gold mine, build a base and armies, attack other people's bases.

 

[ZywyPL]

I'd like a tower defense kind of game set in WC universe, think of Kingdom Rush but even better.

It's a Pokemon GO clone using WoW Battle Pets. They've had it running internally for years.

Can't wait to hear about their new lineup of mobile games.

I mean its only been 20 years since Warcraft 3 and 10 years since Starcraft 2 debuted (7 since LotV). Why would they bother building quality succesors in genres that define their company for a generation when they can prioritize remakes or making a Pachinko game using the IP?

I think it's pretty strange that they didn't release more casual friendly, simpler versions of Starcraft and Warcraft on mobile. They are a great fit and there have been many ultra successful mobile games inspired on them.

It is pretty clear from playing Blizzard games for the past 20 years that Blizzard employees exactly 3 actual coders and literally the rest of the company beats on them to get shit done. That is why they produce these hollywood grade cutscenes, fantastic art, and the systems people go off the deep end with retarded systems designs: all of these people have nothing to do while waiting for the 3 actual coders to get stuff done.

 

[Polelock]

I'd love a Warcraft Mobile RTS. That would be amazing.

 

[sainraja]

They have Hearthstone with Warcraft characters already on mobile. I hope they work on a Swords&Soldiers style of RTS game for mobile, that'd be cool.

 

[Concern]

I absolutely despise Warcraft but this is going to rake in some serious cash from casuals.

 

[AJUMP23]

Is it the RTS or the MMO?

 

[Elder Legend]

Hopefully its like WoW Battle Pets. Would work very well and be fun.

[Shubh_C63]

Meh I will take it. Atleast anything Warcraft that's not mmo is coming out.
