No later than February 2022, it became known that Blizzard is working on a mobile game in the Warcraft universe. The strategy game Tower Offense is now introduced; The developer also shows the gameplay for the first time. There will be several beta tests throughout the year, and those who wish can register now.
Second try should work.
A few months ago, Activision Blizzard’s quarterly report showed that the developer wants to be more involved in the booming mobile gaming market. With the online card game Hearthstone, the publisher already has a successful mobile game in its portfolio, but porting of Blizzard’s main brand has sometimes failed. While many successful PC and console games have long been available on smartphones (like Fortnite, Call of Duty Mobile, or most recently Rainbow Six Mobile), Blizzard’s first attempt has only drawn criticism: Diablo Immortal was booed upon announcement and finally postponed.
However, with a mobile game in the Warcraft universe, this should now work. Blizzard announces Warcraft Arclight Rumble with announcement trailergameplay trailer embedded below and more info.
Arclight Rumble is a tower attack game. Thus, unlike the well-known tower defense games, the goal of the player is not to prevent the enemy from advancing with placed towers and obstacles, but to break through enemy structures with the help of units. At the end of each map, an opponent boss awaits, who will also send his units to defend as the game progresses. The game is a bit like Supercell’s Clash Royale, but Arclight Rumble not only allows you to fight in PVP mode with friends or random opponents through matchmaking, but also to run a single-player campaign.
Single player campaign featuring Warcraft units and heroes
In about 70 missions, players send minions to given paths and can capture control points along the way, including, for example, enemy defensive towers. Units come from four known factions in the Warcraft universe, specifically the Alliance, Horde, Undead, and Wild Beasts. In addition, around 60 hero characters are available to players, who are said to have special abilities and in gacha– Manually can be assembled.

Of course, this raises the question of monetization. Unsurprisingly, Warcraft Arclight Rumble will be free to play, but in conversation with gamestar Blizzard reassures: there should be no loot boxes and in general the content will not be sold. Instead, players can purchase premium currency to use to speed up the game progression at various points.
Beta testing and release in 2022
Arclight Rumble is scheduled to release later this year for iOS and Android smartphones; Blizzard has not yet announced the exact date. Instead, the publisher promises beta tests for now, in which those who are interested are already interested. register to be capable of. However, there is no specific date for this either.
