In a recent interview with Blizzard‘s J. Allen Brack and Tom Chilton, they squashed every console gamers’ hopes of seeing the highly acclaimed MMO, World of Warcraft, boxed neatly inside a console. Also discussed were several other topics regarding the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King, as well as other new content for the game.
Chilton was also rather excited about the new achievement system that they will be introducing soon. It will definitely give players something to strive for and extend their gameplay even further.
When asked about the hardest challenge the developers have encountered so far, Brack answered that the insertion of the new Death Knight class was the biggest hurdle they’ve faced. However, with the beta phase for WotLK well underway, modifications are still being made to the new character class before its official release with the new expansion.
One of the more interesting things they discussed was Blizzard’s take on MMOs made for consoles and social networks. This doesn’t necessarily mean gamers should hope for a console version of WoW soon. Brack specifically mentioned while this may work with other MMOs, this setup wouldn’t really work with World of Warcraft. I guess this just means we’ll just have to play WoW as it was meant to be played: on a PC.
