Apr. 20, 2024Blizzard Could Bring World Of Warcraft To Consoles Soon
In terms of acquisitions in the gaming world, few were as high-profile asMicrosoft’spurchase ofActivision Blizzard. After several legal hurdles even before bodies on other continents, this purchase was finally completed last year. Therefore, the spotlight was on the various franchises that are now underMicrosoft’scontrol, and one of them isWorld of Warcraft.
That’s why, according toBlizzard, the idea of bringingWorld of Warcraftto consoles is still being discussed at the studio. In a recent interview, World of Warcraft’s vice president and executive producer,Holly Longdale, talked about how things are at Blizzard after the acquisition.
Longdale was asked if this new relationship with Microsoft could result in World of Warcraft coming to consoles, to which Longdale responded, “Of course we still talk about it. We’re gamers, I don’t think anything is beyond our capabilities, but we have nothing to say about it right now.”
This also reflects other comments Longdale made in the interview about what it’s like to work under Microsoft’s control. Unlike what one might expect, with their new owners requesting that Blizzard do certain things, Longdale specified that the relationship between the companies is the opposite. “There’s no one asking us to do anything,” Longdale stated.
The producer also mentioned that, now that they are part of Microsoft, they have been able to talk to people from Mojang, the Minecraft studio, and the team behindThe Elder Scrolls Online, from Bethesda, to exchange information about what works in each other’s projects.
World of Warcraft is approaching its 20th anniversary on November 23, and the game is about to release a new trilogy of expansions starting with The War Within, which will be released at some point this year.
