TouchArcade recently had the opportunity to sit down with Game Director Tom Chilton and Executive Producer Vik Saraf of Blizzard Entertainment to discuss their newest mobile game, “Warcraft Rumble.” This new addition to the Warcraft franchise has been highly anticipated by fans, and the developers were excited to share some insights about what players can expect from the game.
One of the first topics discussed was the lore of the game, and how it fits into the larger Warcraft universe. Chilton explained that “Warcraft Rumble” takes place in an alternate timeline, where the heroes and villains of Azeroth find themselves transported to a mysterious arena where they must fight for survival. This allows the developers to introduce new characters and scenarios without disrupting the existing lore of the Warcraft series.
Saraf added that they wanted to create a game that would appeal to both hardcore Warcraft fans and casual mobile gamers. To achieve this balance, they focused on making the game accessible to new players while also providing enough depth and strategy to keep long-time fans engaged. Players can choose from a variety of heroes, each with unique abilities and playstyles, and participate in fast-paced battles that can be completed in just a few minutes.
When asked about the potential for a PC version of “Warcraft Rumble,” both Chilton and Saraf confirmed that they are considering it but have no concrete plans at this time. However, they emphasized that the game was designed specifically for mobile devices, with touchscreen controls and mechanics that are best suited to the platform. They want to ensure that players have the best possible experience on their chosen device, whether that be a smartphone or tablet.
Overall, the developers are confident that “Warcraft Rumble” will be a hit with Warcraft fans and mobile gamers alike. They are proud of the game they have created and are excited to see how players respond to it. With its unique lore, accessible gameplay, and potential for future expansion, “Warcraft Rumble” promises to be a must-play title for fans of the Warcraft series. Stay tuned for more updates as the game nears its release date!
