Warcraft Mobile is coming to satisfy fans of the franchise
Warcraft Mobile, two words not many people expected to be used in the same sentence, finally emerge from the shadows to leave us in awe of the creativity and charm of this upcoming mobile game.
In today's article, we will cover everything you need to know about this new Warcraft mobile game, better known as Warcraft Arclight Rumble.
If by now you're not familiar with World of Warcraft and consider yourself a gamer... it would be your first time. But that's okay, because we're going to delve into some details about the world and story behind the game, as well as how Warcraft Arclight Rumble came to be.
This will not be just a fighting game between the horde and the alliance
Warcraft Arclight Rumble will have its own narrative, but it's definitely not what a typical WoW fan might expect. The Warcraft mobile game has its own universe and its own storylines, as it's kind of an offshoot of the original (if we can even call it that).
On your journey through the stages, you'll deploy various heroes to take down enemies and towers, in what the developers would call a tower offense type game. The more levels you beat, the more you'll discover about the game's universe and maps.
You can find popular worlds, such as Azeroth, Shadowlands, Outland, and Pandaria, to name a few, and if you're familiar with the original PC game, some of the elements that appear on those maps will also be familiar to you, at least to some degree.
Of course, Warcraft Arclight Rumble has been adapted for mobile, so as we've seen in the trailer, you won't be playing as your own custom character, but rather you'll be gathering a collection of all kinds of heroes, from all corners of the world, and the You will unfold as you see fit.
Warcraft Arclight Rumble Trailer
If you haven't had a chance to check out the Warcraft mobile game trailer, we've included it below! Check it out before we continue with our list of important points about the game.
As you can see, even from the trailer we can easily tell (at least at first glance) that the game is quite similar to some existing mobile games, like Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, or any Clash-like TD game.
Can you play World of Warcraft on mobile?
World of Warcraft is a PC exclusive game, and cannot be played on mobile. It is an MMORPG, and there are many such games for mobile, but none of them are like the classic WoW.
The only Blizzard Warcraft mobile game is the one we cover in this article: Warcraft Arclight Rumble. However, this is not an MMORPG, but rather a TD strategy game.
So the short answer would be no, you can't play World of Warcraft on mobile, but you can play the Warcraft mobile game (which is Warcraft Arclight Rumble) once it comes out.
How will this new game be?
Right now we have some information about the game, but just the basics. For example, we know that it will be a Clash-type strategy game, so we will have heroes to collect and improve, several tactics to take into account when deploying the heroes, and multiple game modes.
Some of the key features of the game are
Fast paced strategy battles
Hero collector (so presumably a gacha system)
PvP and PvE modes
A single player story/campaign mode with many levels
Classic WoW Maps/Map Settings
When will the new Warcraft Mobile be available?
At the moment, there is no official release date for Warcraft Arclight Rumble. The game will enter its closed beta phase soon, so hopefully we'll know more information then.
In the meantime, you can pre-register to stay up to date with the latest news and announcements, and be the first to have a chance to enter the closed beta phase!
