In Warcraft Arclight Rumble, players will be able to collect
over 60 characters from across the Warcraft universe—brought
to life as lovingly sculpted tabletop miniatures—and triumph
through an epic single-player campaign with over 70
missions, tackle cooperative missions with friends, and
test their armies in a competitive player-versus-player
mode.
“Warcraft Arclight Rumble provides the sort of experience that
we always strive to create at Blizzard,” said Mike Ybarra,
President of Blizzard Entertainment. “It’s instantly fun, yet deep
and rewarding over the long term, and we’re immensely proud to
bring a new and authentic representation of Warcraft to mobile. We
can’t wait for players to experience the joyful chaos of this game
for themselves.”
Easy to learn and fun to master, Warcraft Arclight Rumble will
test players’ ability to create miniature armies to effectively
overcome each mission’s unique challenges. Players will build
forces from their collections of minis, starting with their armies’
Leaders—which include Warcraft notables such as the Warsong
chieftain Grommash Hellscream and Archmage Jaina Proudmore—and fill
in their rosters with rank-and-file Troop minis and powerful
Spells. Each single-player mission presents its own
distinct, bite-sized strategic puzzle to solve, and players will
have to nimbly adapt their tactics in real-time to overcome these
frantic challenges. Apart from the over 70 missions that make up
the single-player campaign, players can also tackle
Dungeons, which present distinct, sequential challenges.
In addition, players will take on demanding cooperative
activities (such as Raids) and battle opponents in PvP
matches, and they will also be able to join Guilds, which
will allow them to chat with their comrades, plan their adventures,
and work toward collective rewards. Players will continually earn
in-game currency to add to and level-up their collections by simply
playing the game or through purchases from the in-game shop. More
information on the in-game shop, including pricing and inventory,
will be available at a later date.
Starting soon, select players in certain regions will be able to
join the beta test for Warcraft Arclight Rumble. For more
