Holly Longdale speaks: Blizzard Entertainment would like to see World of Warcraft on console, but the situation is very… “complicated”
We talked about BlizzCon 2023 an hour ago, and it is on this occasion that Holly Longdaleat the head of World of Warcraftclarified one thing: internally, in that of Blizzard Entertainment we talk “continuously” about a possible console version. “It’s a complex question,” Longdale begins. “For console audiences, accessibility will likely be different.” Although in the past MMOs were a genre incapable of breaking out of the PC gaming bubble for reasons of different power, some of the role-playing games belonging to the genre are today extremely popular even among controller lovers, an example being Final Fantasy XIV .

“Now we are [proprietà di] Microsoft”: Blizzard shines a light for fans of World of Warcraft on console?
“At the moment,” continues Longdale, “we are focused on the Worldsoul Saga. He will happen to come back and at that point we will re-examine everything but, guys, now we have enough irons in the fire.” However, it is the awareness next to make us raise our eyebrows. “We have these three expansions and we’re tremendously excited about them. But yes, of course. It wouldn’t be sincere to pretend we’ve never talked about it, like… obviously we talk about it,” Longdale repeats before adding: “Now we’re Microsoft.” Ironically, the fact that the jade giant is in the possession of Activision today means the possibility of seeing World of Warcraft on consoles, when in the past we would have sworn that this acquisition would have had the opposite effect. How times change, right?
