Blizzard is reportedly making a Warcraft-themed take on Pokémon Go
While much of the response to
Diablo Immortal was less than enthusiastic, Blizzard remains optimistic about mobile gaming — and according to a
report in Kotaku, has another potentially gigantic project up its sleeve. An “incubation department” at the studio is said to be working on a
Warcraft mobile game that’s heavily influenced by
Pokémon Go.
Lead designer Cory Stockton, also of
World of Warcraft, is apparently a huge
Pokémon fan, and
Kotaku’s report says that many Blizzard employees play
Pokémon Go competitively at the campus on a daily basis. The
Warcraft project, however, is said to have “a lot more to it” than
Pokémon Go and will include single-player elements.
