Frank Pearce, co-fouder of Blizzard Entertainment, has spoken about his hopes on turning a part of World of Warcraft on mobile phones and so expanding the universe of the MMO to the tiny screen.
Frank talked about this after closing of the D.I.C.E. Event in Las Vegas last week. In an interview with Mtv, Frank noted that a very small team in Blizzard just might be creating a slice of "World of Warcraft" for cell phones.
The Blizzard mobile team is new and not something Pearce had discussed publicly before. "They just started that endeavor," he said. "We’ve only got a couple of people right now. I don’t think we’re looking at it as something like, ‘We’re going to make mobile games.’ We want to look at the mobile devices as something we can use to enhance the experience of our existing games. So we’re going to have to look at ways to use the mobile device to enhance their ‘World of Warcraft’ experience. We’ll see what kind of applications we can come up with."
