For a really long time, there has been a lot of rumors about the console port of World of Warcraft on the web. This time, we can probably clearly say that these were just rumors. The game director finally took the floor.
In the past, fans have informed Blizzard of their desire to play World of Warcraft on consoles. These requests and rumors have been circulating on this subject for a long time, and have recently grown even larger. Eventually, Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard. Unfortunately, all these clichés turned out to be lies. World of Warcraft will never hit consoles.
During an interview with IGN , World of Warcraft director Ion Hazzikostas mentioned that there is almost no chance that their popular MMO will ever hit consoles:
No … I think World of Warcraft was made from scratch for personal computers. I think on this topic we just looked at the different modifiers that players would need. […] We just want better for our fans.
And while this news may be really sad for many players, it doesn’t mean World of Warcraft is going to die in the future. On the contrary. This week, Blizzard announced a new ninth expansion pack for Wowa called Dragonflight . At the same time, World of Warcraft Classic will receive the Wrath of the Lich King expansion in 2022. Would you like to play Wowa on Playstation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch? Or maybe you prefer the game to stay on PC forever? Let me know in the comments!
