Blizzard Considering World of Warcraft for iOS

Company "looking at" making WoW playable on iOS devices.

With a variety of online services and Apps, World of Warcraft is never far from its players -- even when they're not sitting at their keyboard. And according to Blizzard, the next step is now being considered: taking all of WoW to iOS devices.

In an wide-ranging interview with Eurogamer, WoW forum moderator Greg Street discussed the challenges of taking the mega MMO to consoles, the game's upcoming patch, and the future of WoW. Most notable were his comments about the possibility of transporting World of Warcraft to the iPad and/or iPhone.


"Everyone I know here has an iPhone or an iPad so we're huge fans of the hardware," Street told Eurogamer. "If we could make the right game changes to make that work, it's something we'd be interested in. It's not something you're going to see in the next week or two, but it's the kind of thing we're always looking at."

Various tech demos have already been run demonstrating the iPad has the power to run World of Warcraft, and Street said making an iOS version of the game is all about finding a way to transition the mouse and keyboard controls to touchscreen.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm patch 4.2, Rage of the Firelands is being prepped for launch. Check the trailer below:
