Blizzard Entertainment and NetEase have canceled an under-development World of Warcraft mobile MMO that has been under development, according to a new report by Bloomberg. The title, codenamed Neptune, would have been a mobile MMO set in the same universe as Blizzard's long-popular World of Warcraft, but the project has been set aside due to a financial dispute.

    In spite of the size of the team let go I doubt we missed much due to this cancellation.

    I wonder if it's because of what's going on in the far east with Taiwan, China burning bridges to pave way for a real life world of war(craft)? If so, expect more cancellations like this one on the Chinese side, using any excuse they can. The tension is ramping up. F for respect, WoW Mobile.

    Doubt it, we're not seeing cancellations or discontinuation of service to other games from or in China, and NetEase is still publishing WoW and it's upcoming expansion in China. It says a financial dispute.

    Like the WoW story narrative we can only be a flip away from development starting up again.

    They'll just wait until Diablo Immortal stops bringing in boatloads of money and then get back to making the mobile WoW game.

    Maybe Blizzard will reconsider revisiting Titan.  Sure, the scope may have gotten out of hand, but there's likely to be more than Overwatch buried in the remnants.



    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    I've always wanted a version of WoW I could on multiple devices, shame.

    You're right, it would have absolutely nothing to do with it.

    The games cancellation was likely a while ago and Bloomberg just found out about it and the decrease in Netease's stock from the small delay of Diablo is nothing compared to the decrease of the entire Chinese stock e market because their economy is in shambles.

    But, hey, none of that matters.
