Blizzard Entertainment announced its latest game Warcraft: Arclight Rumble for mobile devices. The game is set in the Warcraft universe. The publisher had originally planned two games for release on mobile devices with Arclight Rumble being a Clash Royale-style game and the other being similar to Pokemon GO. The second game has been abandoned and will not be released.

Warcraft: Arclight Rumble Overview

The new Warcraft title is designed specifically for mobile devices. Set in the Warcraft universe, the game features collectible “minis” which players can obtain. There will be both PvE (Player vs. Environment) and PvP (Player vs. Player) modes that players can engage in as well as a campaign mode.

The game is free-to-play with optional microtransactions. It is currently unknown what the player progression for anyone who chooses not to spend on the game looks like. With over 60 collectible “minis”, it is possible that they will be sold via the microtransaction store. Players will be able to upgrade and customize their minis.

There are also five factions in the game right now including Alliance, Horde, Beast, Blackrock, and the Undead. Blizzard has also planned co-op content, dungeons, raids and replayable missions. The gameplay looks like a mix of tower defense and strategy elements.
