    So, uh… hey, remember when Azeroth got stabbed with a sword? It was the end of the last World of Warcraft everyone mostly agreed was good? It was kind of a big deal! Or at least, it seemed like one, but then everyone decided to bicker over whether Sylvanas committing war crimes was an all right thing to do and then everyone went into the afterlife. What ever happened to that giant sword sticking out of the planet’s surface? According to lead narrative designer Steve Danuser, it’s still part of a story thread that the developers will return to… eventually.To get more news about Buy WoW WLK Items, you can visit lootwow.com official website.

    Obviously, it seems like that’s not really a priority for the development team to address; another recent interview with game director Ion Hazzikostas had him facetiously asking “what sword?” when asked about the same object. But at least someone remembers it, and it might be important in the future! Not soon, though. Who needs to attend to a giant sword sticking out of the planet; there are dragons to ride around on!
    Activision-Blizzard has plans to bring all of its major IPs to mobile. First there was Diablo Immortal, and now Warcraft is also getting adapted to gaming's most lucrative platform. So what is Blizzard working on?

    Back in 2018, it was believed Blizzard was developing an AR-based Warcraft game in the vein of Pokemon Go. Players would walk around the real-world with the fictional world of Azeroth laid over it, complete with combat and encounters. That project has been scrapped, sources have told Windows Central's Jez Corden and Bloomberg's Jason Schreier.

    Later in 2021 we uncovered evidence that the new Warcraft mobile game would be monetized (not a big surprise) and that it would have RPG elements. That's not a whole lot to go on, but we could see a third-person type of World of Warcraft adaptation or perhaps even a real-time strategy game--a genre that is surprisingly popular on mobile devices.
