Ios/Android-titeln Warcraft Rumble skulle ta Blizzards älskade strategispelsserie till telefonernas förlovade värld, men i själva verket mynnade det ut i en medelmåttig och enformig sörja fullproppad av mikrotransaktioner (i alla fall enligt Petter, som fick äran att recensera för snart två år sedan). Nu väljer Blizzard att dra ur pluggen och sluta uppdatera titeln.
I ett uttalande på Blizzards hemsida berättar utvecklarna att spelet aldrig riktigt fick fotfäste, och trots att framsteg gjorts så har nu det svåra beslutet tagits att fortsätta buggfixa och hålla regelbundnda events, men att inget nytt innehåll kommer att släppas.
Dear Warcraft Rumble Community,
We have an important update on the future of Warcraft Rumble. After much deliberation, we've arrived at an extremely hard decision. Moving forward, we'll continue supporting Rumble with updates focused on regular, systemic in-game events and bug fixes, but no new content.
Warcraft Rumble began development nine years ago as a love letter to Azeroth and launched back in 2023, reflecting input from enthusiastic players around the globe and the effort of a passionate team—some of whom continue to support Rumble or other Blizzard games, and some we've had to sadly part ways with. Since launch, Rumble has struggled to find its footing relative to our ambition for its long-term success, and for some time now the team has been listening to player feedback, refocusing in certain areas, and exploring different options. Some of that work showed signs of progress, but ultimately wasn't enough to put the game on a path to sustainability.
During this transition, we are focused on supporting our teammates. We're deeply grateful to everyone at Blizzard and in the community for helping bring Warcraft Rumble to life and embracing the joy that makes this game so special. Your enthusiasm and feedback mean the world to us.
Vi får bara hoppas att detta inte blir spiken i kistan för Warcraft som strategiserie då detta blir det andra misslyckandet på relativt kort tid, där det första utgjordes av det allmänt bespottade Warcraft III: Reforged.
