Expected this year on iOS and Android, Warcraft Arclight Rumble therefore draws on the popular Warcraft universe and invites us to raise armies made up of recognizable heroes and villains from the franchise to make them compete in the form of collectible figurines. Over 65 characters will be represented in a single-player campaign comprising over 70 missions. You will have to start by gathering resources to stock up on gold and capture strategic points to bring your troops closer to the objective. Multiplayer is obviously part of the game with cooperative missions (like raids), a competitive player versus player mode and a guild system.
Embodied by characters like Grommash Hellscream and Jaina Proudmoore, army leaders are distinguished by special abilities. Each mission in the campaign presents a strategic challenge to solve, and experience earned after a battle will allow you to level up your miniatures and unlock new talents. Once seasoned with the mechanics, players will be able to embark on dungeons offering a variety of consecutive challenges.
Without even bothering to mention the economic model as the answer seems obvious, Blizzard promises a not too stingy game whose users will regularly receive in-game currency. “More information about the in-game store, such as content and prices, will be available later.“, as often with mobile games.
“Warcraft Arclight Rumble delivers the kind of experience we always strive for at Blizzard. The game is fun from the start, and remains rich and rewarding over time. We’re especially proud to bring an authentic, brand-new version of Warcraft to mobile, and we can’t wait for gamers to experience the joyful chaos.“, rejoices Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard.
