Blizzard is certainly in a moment of full revaluation, and according to a report by Bloomberg it has cut its head off two spins- off of World of Warcraft in development.
The most famous MMO in the world, who created a boundless world to discover with books on Amazon, has imposed itself on the market for many years as the only exponent like that.
A franchise that has expanded in various ways , and will continue to do so with a mobile title that will be available soon.
While the company is currently handling the release of Diablo Immortal from which increasingly strange stories are emerging.
From a Bloomber report by Jason Schreier and Zheping Huang we discover that Blizzard was developing two spin-offs of World of Warcraft , but which have been deleted.
And, from the description that emerges from the information in the report, they seemed two really promising projects , for the present historical moment.
Blizzard and NetEase have cut the plug on a mobile version of World of Warcraft , a spin-off set in Azeroth in a different historical period, in development for more than 3 years.
The second project was a response to Pokémon GO , an augmented reality mobile game always linked to the world of Warcraft based on geolocation .
Both projects seem to have come to a break in construction for financial reasons .
Blizzard also canceled a Warcraft mobile game based on geolocation a la Pokemon Go, Bloomberg earlier reported. That game, code-named Orbis, had been in development for 4+ years. Mobile games are typically made in much less time

In addition to some unfulfilled agreements by some of the parties, it seems that the development of the projects has gone too long , thus not respecting the deadlines previously agreed.
Given the success of Diablo Immortal , two such games would have sparked and broken the Internet , probably.
A platform, that of the latest Diablo that has gathered many players despite the numerous controversies about it.
As for future projects, however, we already know that Overwatch 2 will not follow the example of Diablo Immortal , despite the turning point free-to-play of the shooter.
