rumbleWhat's Next For Warcraft Rumble

Blizzard

In the near future, the Rumble team will add new seasons and new features, new zones, and much more to the game.
For Season 1 of Warcraft Rumble, Sylvanas Windrunner, an Undead Leader mini, will be the final seasonal reward!
Once Season 1 has ended, Sylvanas can be bought regularly in the game's shop for in-game currency.
For Season 2, the Chimaera mini will be the final reward, a powerful Beast minion that, unlike a singular Leader, can be added to all sorts of warbands!
There will also be a Molten Core raid, which will contain the Ragnaros Leader mini as the final reward!

Raids are a form of co-op gameplay in Warcraft Rumble. You'll need 2 players to enter a raid and fight your way through a total of three wings.
Over time, players will need to pre-plan their team loadout and strategize accordingly to be able to defeat more and more difficult boss encounters!
The Molten Core raid in Warcraft Rumble will feature most of the iconic boss encounters of the first World of Warcraft raid from 2004.
Raid Rewards from Molten Core will feature experience and rarity boosts for minis as well as the Ragnaros Leader mini.

Upcoming iconic content releases will feature the Moonglade zone and the Scholomance dungeon.
Future PvP updates include so-called "metas", unpredictable modifiers to PvP maps, such as towers with specific abilities.
There will also be leaderboards and replays to show off some of your clutch PvP wins!

The Making of Warcraft Rumble

Blizzard

Warcraft Rumble was inspired by many different game genres, including real-time strategy games and tabletop games.
The development team is inspired by the history and the development of the Warcraft franchise and wants to deliver a memorable mobile game experience within its universe.
Early Rumble prototypes featured old Warcraft and WoW models!

The art team intended the overall art style to be stylized but also "feel authentically Warcraft".
In terms of environmental art, many assets like trees are supposed to look like toys to transport the visceral feeling of playing a digital board game.
In essence, the art team imagined actual gnomes making these Rumble machines and the minis that are living inside of them.

What Is Warcraft Rumble?

Blizzard

Warcraft Rumble is "all the things" - it's a Tower Defense/Offense game, collecting "minis" (the minions used in the game), including campaign modes, PvP, guilds, and much more.
The complete mini collection in Rumble includes 5 families, 13 leaders, and more than 65 minis.
The Campaign Mode features all the iconic zones of Azeroth. Each zone features five levels and a more difficult final level.
The final challenge boss in the game right now is Onyxia at the end of the campaign.
The campaign also features a much harder Heroic mode, which can be unlocked with sigils.

Dungeons in Rumble will be unlocked when reaching 30 sigils and will feature 3 levels. After completing a level, you will be able to choose a relic that will help you during your dungeon run.
PvP in Rumble will have skill-based matchmaking.
Guilds will be able to work towards a War Chest reward every season.

Comment by DreadspiteA good time burner, but I am still waiting for my Gnome pet.Comment by TriveliusI've completed Durotar area now and unlocked near enough all there is to see and I have to say it gets boring very quickly. My advice to anyone looking to get into the this game is to look into what is currently overpowered in the game and just use those recommendations otherwise you will likely make very slow or no progress at all.Comment by Stormchaser17Looking forward to raiding together with my guildies!
