Blizzard Working On Mobile Titles Across Its Franchises

Blizzard was primarily known as a company who developed games for the PC. However over the years the company has diversified their offerings where games such as Overwatch and Diablo have expanded to consoles. They have also expanded to mobile where titles such as Hearthstone remains incredibly popular, and where Diablo Immortal will be launching as well.

Now if you thought Blizzard’s mobile efforts were done, think again as the company has confirmed that they have multiple mobile titles in the works that will apply across the company’ entire lineup. This was revealed during a Q&A session where executive producer Allen Adham confirmed the company’s plans.

According to Adham, “In terms of Blizzard’s approach to mobile gaming, many of us over the last few years have shifted from playing primarily desktop to playing many hours on mobile. We have many of our best developers now working on new mobile titles across all of our IPs.” He adds, “Some of them are with external partners like with Diablo: Immortal. Many of them are being developed internally only, and we’ll have information to share on those in the future.”

It will be interesting to see what kind of mobile experiences Blizzard might come up with. We imagine that titles like Heroes of the Storm could do well on phones, especially given that mobile MOBA games do seem pretty popular, but what do you guys think?
