Blizzard has been keeping the interest of the community with both the well-known MMORPG and its version World of Warcraft Classicwhich will soon receive the expansion of Wrath of the Lich King. And now, according to Bloomberg sources, it is revealed that the company had a great interest in continuing to expand the franchise in the mobile environment, although its latest idea has not come to fruition.
The game would have been in development for more than 3 yearsWe are talking about a game that, in collaboration with the Chinese company NetEasewould have been developing as a mobile MMORPG spin-off within the World of Warcraft universe. But, following the sources consulted by the journalist Jason Schreier, this idea would have been canceled due to a disagreement over the financial terms of the title.
This spin-off would have been in development for more than 3 years, and its subsequent cancellation has seen NetEase disband a 100-person development team. Some of them have been offered the opportunity to continue working in the company, but not all those affected have been so lucky.
In addition, Jason Schreier comments on Twitter that Blizzard has also canceled a mobile Warcraft game codenamed Orbis that used a system of geolocation similar to Pokémon GO. According to the journalist, this title had been in development more than 4 years.
