Activision Blizzard released its quarterly earnings report this afternoon, and part of it included another hint at moreĀ WarcraftĀ in the world of mobile.

The company outlined its plans ahead for Blizzard, citing ongoing development onĀ DiabloĀ andĀ Overwatch. On theĀ WarcraftĀ side of things, Activision Blizzard says new experiences are on the way for WarcraftĀ andĀ Hearthstone, as well as “all-new mobileĀ WarcraftĀ content” this year.

What exactly that entails is not clear.Ā Hearthstone, the Warcraft card game, is already on the platform, as well as a World of Warcraft companion app. MobileĀ WarcraftĀ experiences have been alluded to in past reports. We’ll see what it is sometime in 2022.

On the Activision side of things,Ā Call of Duty: VanguardĀ fell short, declining in year-over-year net bookings. This entry also saw lower engagement inĀ Warzone. It looks like theĀ Call of DutyĀ machine is pressing onward, though.

Activision Blizzard confirms Infinity Ward is taking the helm of the next installment in theĀ Call of DutyĀ series. It will also be taking the lead onĀ the next bigĀ WarzoneĀ experience, too. The publisher also says plans are continuing for ongoing live operations and new, unannounced titles in theĀ Call of DutyĀ universe.

Microsoft recently announced its intent to acquire Activision Blizzard, a move that will reportedly be investigated by the Federal Trade Commission. The pending deal is why Activision Blizzard isn’t holding a conference call as usual. The publisher also said itĀ has “continued to implement previously announced initiatives to strengthen its practices and policies.”

Whatever a mobileĀ WarcraftĀ may mean, I suppose we’ll find out.
