Having recently released the “Overwatch 2” game, the Activision Blizzard implemented a new update related to the pre-release of its upcoming expansion of “The World of Warcraft Dragonflight“Which made several changes to the game.
However, these wouldn’t be the only news to come about the “Warcraft” franchise, as it appears that the company’s previously canceled mobile project is still in development, even behind closed doors, according to a leak. was identified.
According to a post found on Reddit by GamingLeaksAndRumors, the largest subreddit of losses and rumors in the industry GamesBlizzard continues its quest to find a technical artist from tubing senior / principal, at which point mentioning an unannounced “Warcraft” mobile project.
That news came about three months after Activision Blizzard and NetEase Inc. canceled the game after a three-year development period due to some funding issues related to the project. But now, it seems, it seems that Blizzard will continue the development of the game.
this project mobile not announced by the Warcraft company is apparently not really related to the mobile game that has been talked about in the past, but instead is a separate title that should be something like a spin off from Blizzard’s 2004 “World of Warcraft” franchise.
The launch of the title was originally planned in the same universe, but over a slightly different time frame than current games. At the same time, the expansion called “Dragonflight” is expected to launch in about a month, according to data provided by the company.
The Blizzard spokesperson ended up contesting some old rumors about the funding disputes between ABK and NetEase, when he said that the relationship promoted by the two companies is extremely fruitful and that all the initial rumors weren’t true from the start.
Without wishing to cast any kind of doubt on the credibility of this statement, some previous experiences with the Activision Blizzard they taught us that their spokespersons don’t necessarily always tell the truth. Some canceled projects are common within this industry Games and they are always dropped by various studies all the time.
However, we can say that this would not necessarily be a bad thing, as the developed assets often end up becoming totally separate game titles or even new sequels, such as “Breath of the Wild”, by Zelda, which initially started as DLC.
Also, our retired “Overwatch” enters the same camp, which was a project that led to the cancellation of a Blizzard title in 2013. However, initial reports suggest that NetEase has disbanded its team of over 100 members., Which they are reportedly currently working on a game mobile de “World of Warcraft”.
Only some of these professionals have been hired by the company, while the rest have been sent away. As many people already know, China has a huge market for mobile players, reaching over 600 million players. So canceling a project related to the world-famous “World of Warcraft” franchise would not really be a good option.
Now, on the other hand, the state of gaming in China would be, at least from a Western perspective, a little depressing, as the government actually dictates how much time you can spend on gaming on a daily basis.
Furthermore, children cannot access any kind of game without parental consent and identification. This ends up being even more guaranteed thanks to the implementation of the Software from Facial recognition which could prevent young people from misusing their parents’ credentials.
Finally, we can say that here we are sailing through shallow and somewhat unexplored waters. Blizzard and NetEase have been collaborating since 2008 and their relationship has grown to develop games together. However, it ends up becoming questionable whether the aforementioned mobile game of the franchise has, in fact, been canceled or not.
