Warcraft Arclight Rumble - New Mobile Game

[crusadernero]

I just said something similar to my kid. I don't love or hate this, but my lack of excitement during this reveal and constant eyerolling at the over-the-top "LOOK AT HOW UNSERIOUS WE ARE" is me realizing that I'm no longer their target audience. I'm sure I'll install it and play it once or twice but this is definitely not my kind of game. I hope they succeed with it.

Yep. I fully expect to see kids play this as the years go by. I'll probably try it out just because its warcraft themed, but I never play mobile games so dunno how long i'll play.

Im still of the opinion that gaming is best suited on pc with mouse+keyboard, but the younger generation thinks otherwise. Young people flock to mobile/tablet games in the droves.

So yeah, Blizzard probably never thought about the kind of gamer I am when making this game. And thats just fine.

I only play mobile games while waiting on something or cooking a long dinner. I think it looks interesting enough to give it a shot.

Blizzard's really embracing the small indie company meme lately.

I liked the art, given the platform.

The game just looked slow, no matter how many times they said "CHAOS!"

being a mobile game is not an excuse for crappy art anymore.
go look at genshin impact.

lazy p2w trash with Warcraft IP pasted over it

*sees thumbnail and title* "Nope, not for me."

I think the only thing the community ever voiced it wanted as mobile was a pet battler or auto chess....

....and we get this? Who asked for this?

[Kumorii]

So, Clash Royale but PvE

No info on how it'll be monetised

Welcome to Blizzard, where we used to innovate, but now, we just copy what's popular, put on a coat of Blizzard paint (TM) and sell it to our dum... errr, I mean... DEVOTED fanboys, who would litterally buy a piece of fresh turd if we slapped a Blizzard sticker on it!

I love how people call it a turd before even seeing the game itself. Also, it is fine if you do not like it, but insulting those that do like it just makes you look elitist.

C'mon guys. Love it.
I need my stocks go a bit higher before I dump them.
This is Blizzard News & Forum page after all. Be the fans!
You're all great! Love these awesome new games!

Considering pretty much everyone knows that their eastern audience is absolutely massive it's no surprise that they'd develop a team(s) specifically for mobile games. And this game looks to be exactly what they wanted when it comes to hooking up the younger audience into the Blizzard franchise.

Regardless if I'll play it or not I think this looks to be a great game for Blizzard as a company, but obv. we'll have to wait and see if/how the MTX will look like for the game, and how far they've come developing/will develop the game in the future cause as it stands right now, at a first glance, I'm not sure there's all that much content announced that will hook people for a longer amount of time.

Feels like target audience just dropped 10 years .. next game will be for newborn babies.

An RTS woulda been badass

Did you ever realize that that was never intended for you or the community you speak of? How dare they try to target a younger and newer audience.

either loot chests, or keys to open said chests without waiting for 1 day or more, to get more cards to unlock new units and upgrade them. Is my guess, since that's how the other ones operate I think.

[Dellis0991]

They could've kept that shit to themselves.

[Maruka]

I have zero interest in playing but i hope people have fun with it.

It's subjective. Your comparison isn't making the point you think it is, given our apparent divergence in taste.

They already produced a few childrens' books, so it's not out of the question.
