An Exciting Outlook for Warcraft's Future

Hey there, WoW enthusiasts! Today we have some exciting news about the future of Warcraft. In an interview with Digital Trends, John Hight, the General Manager of the Warcraft franchise, and Vik Saraf, the executive producer of Warcraft Rumble, shared their thoughts on the direction of Warcraft and what's in store for fans.

Doubling Down on Warcraft

Hight and Saraf made it clear that Warcraft is not slowing down anytime soon. Whether it's the MMO, mobile games, or real-time strategy (RTS), there are no signs of the franchise losing steam. In fact, they want to release World of Warcraft expansions at a faster pace.

"A lot of our players have told us over the last two expansions that story is so important," Hight said. "We felt like our fans were telling us they want to know more about what's in store for them."

The team at Blizzard felt the need to satisfy the players' hunger for story. They wanted to demonstrate their commitment to storytelling and provide a deeper experience for the fans.

The Worldsoul Saga

Blizzard has been working on The Worldsoul Saga, a complex storyline that spans across three expansions. This ambitious project, which culminates in the upcoming expansion, The Last Titan, shows the dedication of the team in delivering an epic narrative befitting of Warcraft's 20th anniversary.

Hight explained, "The notion of doing it as a trilogy came forward because it provided for the creation of a conflict, a resolution, a turnaround, and then a bigger payoff at the end."

Blizzard aims to provide content in a more predictable fashion, so players know when to expect the next expansion. They want to reduce the wait time between expansions and ensure a consistent flow of new content.

• Production Improvements

Blizzard has been making significant production improvements to ensure the timely release of quality content. With parallel development for The Worldsoul Saga expansions, they are working to find the right balance between delivering content quickly and maintaining high standards.

Hight expressed their desire to release expansions more frequently, saying, "We don't really want people to have to wait two years for the next expansion."

• Celebrating Warcraft's 20th Anniversary

As Warcraft celebrates its 20th anniversary, players can expect something big. The War Within, coinciding with this milestone, promises to be even more spectacular than previous celebrations.

Blizzard has always been known for creating long-lasting games, and they aspire for Warcraft Rumble to follow suit. Saraf mentioned the inspiration they draw from other Blizzard games like World of Warcraft and Hearthstone, saying, "Our job is just getting started. We want to make sure that we continue to inject new life into the game so it stays relevant and fun for players to play for years on end."

Warcraft Rumble

Warcraft Rumble, a mobile game born from an incubation team within the World of Warcraft developers, has been well received by players. Blizzard wants it to be its own unique experience while still capturing the essence of Warcraft.

Hight, who has a history with real-time strategy games, expressed his love for the Warcraft franchise. He believes that Warcraft Rumble, being an RTS game, adds a new dimension to the universe. He said, "I think we have the potential to do all kinds of games."

Crafting the Universe

Blizzard has no plans of slowing down with Warcraft. Hight sees himself as a caretaker of the Warcraft universe, laying the foundation for future developers to build upon, much like Disney has done with their franchises. He believes that with careful planning and consideration, Warcraft can continue to evolve and grow for years to come.

So, dear Warcraft fans, it seems that the future is bright and full of exciting adventures. With a commitment to storytelling, consistent releases, and innovative games, Blizzard is determined to keep Warcraft relevant and captivating.
