Do you remember the summer of 2016? That was the summer when AR (augmented reality) first caught everybody\u2019s attention. A little game called Pok\u00e9mon Go was behind the whole thing. The game took the world by storm and had millions of people looking at the real world through the windows of their smartphones and searching for cute and cuddly little Pok\u00e9mon. The insane levels of popularity that Pok\u00e9mon Go achieved have since waned<\/a>, as has public interest in AR, but the game still has a healthy following<\/a>. AR games may be about to get a new lease on life, however, as another gaming behemoth looks set to receive the Pok\u00e9mon Go AR game treatment.<\/p>\n

Reports claim that Blizzard is working on a Warcraft AR game<\/h2>\n

According to a report by Kotaku<\/a>, World of Warcraft lead designer Cory Stockton is a massive Pok\u00e9mon fan and he has managed to persuade Blizzard to start working on a Warcraft game similar to Pok\u00e9mon Go. The report says that the Blizzard \u201cincubation team\u201d is currently working on the game that will eventually see a release across multiple mobile platforms.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t much more information about the game available. Those mentioned in the Kotaku report, however, did mention that they\u2019ve actually had a chance to play it, which means it is already a fair way along its development path. They also mentioned that the game will offer a much richer experience than that offered by Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It can\u2019t be understated just how popular Pok\u00e9mon Go was at the height of summer in 2016. The extremely popular Pok\u00e9mon series seemed like a perfect fit for trying out a new technology. In truth, Pok\u00e9mon Go was a repetitive game and it was rife with bugs even as millions and millions of new users were downloading the game every day. Building collections of Pok\u00e9mon, however, overruled all of these problems. Only the most devout players would be able to collect every Pok\u00e9mon, which meant there would always be new Pok\u00e9mon out there for you to find, if you could be bothered going out to find them. Could a Warcraft game, styled on Pok\u00e9mon Go, offer something similar to users? Could we be about to see another global phenomenon?<\/p>\n

How to prepare for World of Warcraft\u2019s Battle for Azeroth<\/p>\r\n read now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n

The lore behind Warcraft certainly is rich enough to offer an experience engaging enough to continuously drag you off the couch and into the real world. Warcraft is an incredibly popular series, too, which means it has a massive fanbase it can call on to get things started. With no info about the gameplay mechanics, however, it is impossible to say how successful this new game could be. We\u2019ll have to wait until we get to see some screenshots or Blizzard decides to release some more details before we\u2019ll know more. One thing is for sure though, we\u2019re excited by this news and look forward to legions of Warcraft cosplayers taking to the streets armed only with their smartphones yet prepped to battle for God knows what.<\/p>\n\n
