Blizzard announces WoW free to play for mobile

That’s right, after many years of internally debating whether this was a decision that the public would take well, Blizzard has decided to jump into the world of MMORPG F2P mobile games, starting with a version of the most profitable game in its history. World of Warcraft. Your name will World of Warcraft: Immortal and it will be available for iOS and Android.

Robert Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, said the following in an interview with eurogamer:

We believe this is a big step for Blizzard and the entire World of Warcraft community. […] The gamer community is increasingly leaning towards mobile video games, so the most sensible thing to do is focus development in this direction. […] We believe that this version of World of Warcraft is going to be much better and more interactive than the PC version, so from the launch of World of Warcraft: Immortal we will abandon the development of the retail version of the original. We know this is a controversial decision, but we hope the community will embrace it and enjoy our new release.

Additionally, Blizzard has confirmed that there will be micropayments in the game, where higher-level items can be purchased for a currency called “Gems of Azeroth”, which can be purchased for real money in the in-game store. The game will have ads, but they can be removed by paying a monthly fee of 1200 Azeroth gems, which is equivalent to about € 10.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi has already launched a promotional campaign for this video game in China, where as of January 1, 2021, the special limited version of its Redmi Note 8 Pro version World of Warcraft: Immortal can be purchased in its stores for a few € 899. This mobile will come with the game pre-installed and will offer a bonus of 5000 gems of Azeroth to its owner, which would be equivalent to two characters of maximum level and full equipment.

We still don’t know what mechanics this game will have, but we do know the following:
