Usually, the quarterly financial press releases are accompanied by an earnings call/ conference. And the 2nd game, Warcraft mobile game (likely the bigger and better of the two), towards the end of the year after Diablo, picks up steam.
So Blizzard might be planning to launch Warcraft Mobile alongside a big release like WoW: Shadowlands 9.2 or Diablo Immortal in February or March 2022. This leads us to believe that the soon-to-release Warcraft mobile game may not be such a big RPG-style game. In short, Blizzard started hyping up Diablo Immortal three years before the planned release date, but in the case of WoW Mobile, we got nothing. This is strange because the first cinematic trailer for the upcoming Diablo Immortal mobile game was released way back in 2018, with initial release plans for 2021 (later postponed to 2022). And Blizzard isn’t doing any kind of major marketing for Warcraft Mobile. There is also the possibility that Blizzard was focused on finishing Diablo Immortal and WoW: Shadowlands 9.2.Įven so, with a 2022 launch, we don’t have much to go on concerning Warcraft Mobile except the financial reports. So, the mobile games must be near completion by now in 2022 or at least ready for beta.

In the Q2 2021 earnings call, there was mention of two new “Warcraft mobile experiences.” Games like these are small, easy to develop, and don’t carry much weight, at least not enough to distract anyone from the upcoming Diablo launch.
So instead of a full-blown World of Warcraft MMORPG mobile title, we might get something like the Hearthstone card game or a virtual reality-based one like Pokemon Go. Reception to the latest expansion wasn’t as positive as it could have been and developers have been working to clean up World of Warcraft of old references following the lawsuit by the State of California over Blizzard’s workplace gender discrimination.īlizzard will also be absorbed into Xbox as part of the Activision Blizzard acquisition, which will no doubt have some impact on the biggest MMORPG in the world.
WORLD OF WARCRAFT MOBILE SERIES
Warcraft as a series has been impacted by several outside factors since the launch of Shadowlands in 2020. But since the release of Pokemon Go in 2016, there have been many new genres that have become popular in the mobile space including battle royales, auto-battlers, and even open-world games like Genshin Impact. Previous rumors stated Blizzard was developing a Pokemon Go-style AR game set in the Warcraft universe. Blizzard confirmed that the mobile game would be released in 2022 back in February after finally confirming it was in “advanced development” on a Warcraft mobile experience in 2021. ✨ /dOIyAFBjcM- World of Warcraft March 7, 2022īlizzard has long been rumored to be working on a mobile game related to Warcraft.
