Published on 03/05/2022 at 19:45
A few days ago Activision-Blizzard teased us a Warcraft mobile game. Miserly in detail, this big publisher gave us an appointment on May 3 at 7 p.m. to find out more. The date has now passed and we were able to discover the famous title. After Call of Duty Mobile and Diablo Immortal, it’s Warcraft Arclight Rumble’s turn to make its debut. Here’s everything we know about Activision-Blizzard’s Royale/Warcraft.
What is Warcraft Arclight Rumble?
Warcraft Arclight Rumble est a strategy game entirely designed for mobile. If it obviously has an important tactical aspect, the game is still aimed at action fans, promising us dynamic combat. Simply put, this is a game in the vein of Clash Royale fully exploiting the universe of Warcraft.
The game is intended to be accessible, due to its mechanics known to most players, but does not fall into pure ease. With its gameplay intricacies and depth, Warcraft Arclight Rumble promises to be a difficult experience to master. Whether it is in the choice of your leaders, spells or troops to deploy, everything must be thought out to develop the best strategy.
Activision-Blizzard also tells us about a project featuring extensive single-player content and high replayability. We expect more than 70 missions, as well as the classic weekly and monthly challenges. These will take the form of dungeons to go through and raids to succeed in particular. That’s about the form. But basically, what does it give?
The entire Warcraft universe in your mobile
Whether you’re more of the team Warcraft or team World of Warcraft, you will not be out of place with Warcraft Arclight Rumble. As one could imagine, the title will fully exploit the lore of the franchise. We are thus promised around sixty characters (heroes, adversaries, monsters, etc.) from the Warcraft universe. From Grommlash Hellscream to Jaina Proudmoore, you’ll be able to build entire armies around your favorite figures. But the universe of Warcraft is not limited to the presence of a handful of characters. You will find familiar places and some references to the legendary events that shaped the world of Azeroth. Conquest missions will even allow you to replay certain levels with leaders from one of the five iconic families (Horde, Alliance, Beasts, Undead, or Blackrock members), shaping their History.
And to transcribe this particularly rich lore, the project was entrusted to passionate developers, most of them veterans of Activision-Blizzard. We thus find Monte Krol, technical director of the title. If this name means nothing to you, know that the guy joined Blizzard in the early 2000s and started working on World of Warcraft when the game hadn’t even been announced yet. After which he worked on all versions of the game until Shadowlands, while leading the team of engineers behind the WOWEdit application. We also find Tom Chilton (game director) and Jeremy Collins (art director) who are veterans of Blizzard and WoW. In addition to the extensions of Word of Warcraft, the latter notably worked on the animation ofUncharted 2 : Among Thievesbut also films such as Rapunzel or Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, just that!
Warcraft Arclight Rumble has therefore been entrusted to connoisseurs, but also connoisseurs. Carin Huurnink (senior animator) worked on twenty games, the vast majority on mobile. She therefore knows her subject well, both in form and substance. Because if the young woman has not worked for a long time with Blizzard, that does not mean that she does not know the universe of WoW. great player of World of Warcraft Classicshe spends a dozen hours a week roaming the lands of Azeroth to lead frenzied raids. To see all these beautiful people, we therefore say that the mobile game Warcraft is definitely in good hands.
A mobile game: for whom and when?
We said it, Warcraft Arclight Rumble wants to be accessible. Thus, if it will particularly appeal to fans of the Warcraft universe, it is also aimed at players who enjoy this kind of game and are looking for new experiences. Note however that the title still requires minimal configuration who could stand in the way of a small handful of players. You can already find the details below:
On iOS:
- Hardware : iPhone 7 or higher
- Software : iOS 12 or higher
- Memory : 2 GB of RAM or more
On Android:
- Processor : Snapdragon 820 or higher
- GPU: OpenGLES 3.0 or higher
- Software : Android 5.1 (API level 22) or higher
- Memory : 3 GB of RAM or more
If this has not been officially confirmed, the game should normally be free-to-play. It is difficult to see it not following the model of Clash Royale or Diablo Immortal. The next mobile game signed Activision-Blizzard will indeed offer us to (re) discover the universe of Diablo for free. Logically, Warcraft Arclight Rumble should offer the same initial premise, with, one suspects, purchases in game.
As for the release date, we do not yet have precise information on this subject. However, we know that Warcraft Arclight Rumble should be available sometime in 2022. We therefore expect to have more information on this subject in the months to come.
