In its quarter-end earnings report, Blizzard said that it is “planning substantial new content for the Warcraft franchise in 2022, including new experiences in World of Warcraft and Hearthstone, and getting all-new mobile Warcraft content into players’ hands for the first time.”

Although, with confirmation that Warcraft will be available on mobile platforms, there aren’t additional details regarding the game, like the genre, or which aspects from Warcraft will be included. Warcraft universe will it include. However, this is good news for players of the well-known MMORPG game.
Rumors suggest that Blizzard is developing an AR-based game, similar to Pokemon GO.
