Blizzard looking at mobile gaming?

| by Avinash Bali | Gaming

Would you like to see World of Warcraft on your smartphone? Well Blizzard would like to as well only they’re not too sure how to go about doing it. Speaking to Eurogamer earlier on in the week, Blizzard senior producer, John Lagrave confessed that they would love to work on a WOW game for smartphones but their biggest hurdle lay in bringing that massive interface to the palm of your hands.

“Maybe we'll stumble on the great way to put WoW on the phone - maybe we won't, but we're certainly looking into it,” he said. “The world is evolving towards that little handheld device. It would be foolish for any game developer to not be looking at that and we're not. We don't think we're foolish.”

We certainly don’t either but bringing a game like World of Warcraft to handheld platforms does seem rather ambitious. We’d rather they spend their precious time on Diablo III that’s barely two months away from release.
