Blizzard says it talks about bringing WoW to consoles ‘all the time’
“OF COURSE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THAT… WE’RE MICROSOFT NOW.”
Blizzard has said that it considers bringing its seminal MMO World of Warcraft to consoles “all the time.”
Speaking to GamesRadar at BlizzCon2023, Holly Longdale, the vice president and executive producer of World of Warcraft, said that it talks about the prospect “all the time.”
“It’s a complicated question,” Lonngdale said. “For a console audience, the approachability is likely going to be different.”
While in the past, MMO’s of World of Warcraft’s size were more at home on PC due to computing power, some of the largest MMO’s today are extremely popular on console, such as Final Fantasy 14.
“Right now, we’re focused on the Worldsoul Saga. But if that comes up then we’ll reexamine things but, man, we’ve got enough to deal with right now,” said Longdale.
“We’ve got these three expansions and we are so excited about them. But, yeah, of course. It would be very insincere to say that we’re not, like… of course we’re talking about that,” she repeated, before adding: “We are Microsoft now.”
What say you fellow SW fans? What do you think about adding WoW to Xbox consoles? Would you pay the monthly fee? I know that back in the day, when I played it on PC, I would have for sure paid monthly for it on console. I rarely play online anymore, so I am not sure this is something that would appeal to me any longer.
Maybe include it with Game Pass Ultimate? What are your thoughts?
