Holly Longdale, vice president and executive producer of World of Warcraft has hinted that Blizzard Entertainment is considering bringing the MMO to consoles.
In an interview with our sister publication GamesRadar, Longdale was asked whether or not a console version of the game interested the developers at Blizzard, to which she responded: "Of course! Yeah, we talk about it all the time."
GamesRadar went on to ask Longdale if she felt that Blizzard could overcome the technical hurdles that would be involved in such a transition for the MMO. "Well, it depends on who you ask," she replied. "Frankly, I think we're pretty well positioned, which is kind of why we talk about it."
Released back in 2004, World of Warcraft has traditionally been confined to PC and MacOS. However, since being acquired by Microsoft, doors have opened for Blizzard when it comes to Xbox-centric resources and expertise. World of Warcraft on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One would certainly mark a new era for the game.
Choo-choo! Railroads Online is rolling down the track, heading for full release on PC, Xbox and PlayStation real soon.
SNK has announced crossover fighting game SNK vs. Capcom: SVC CHAOS for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC. It is available now for PC via Steam, and will launch for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via GOG on July 22.
I remember I had Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 for GameCube imported. I had my GC modded to play imports. Ah, good times.
I wish Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars would make a return while Capcom is at it.
Bandai Namco has announced Bleach: Rebirth of Souls. The new fighting game based on Tite Kubo's multimedia franchise will be coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The company provided no release date.
Okay I'm excited to see a new Bleach game, but this trailer needed an epilepsy warning.
I hope that this covers more than Soul Society arc, because if they intend on saving later arcs for DLC.... I don't think this will make it long enough to see them all release.
Promising so far, but lots of potential for this to go wrong because of silly publisher choices
I would be extremely surprised if it didn't. It was already a no-brainer before and it's even more now that Microsoft's bought Blizzard.
Been saying this for a long time now.
If WoW would come to consoles there is a high chance we will get new engine finally for WoW, there is no way they will port WoW to consoles with this old crappy game engine.
I wonder how anyone will get the adons you need for wow retail now onto console such as DBM, Recount,Gtfo and all the weak auras. I really don't see that happening unless they make some kind of dumped down version like vanilla wow but somehow easier and more basic
