Blizzard, NetEast Cancel World of Warcraft Mobile Game

Activision Blizzard and NetEase have officially announced that their World of Warcraft mobile game project has been scrapped, citing financial problems as the reason behind the disappointing decision.

According to Bloomberg, the title had been in development for three years and noted that a number of business disagreements were what eventually put the brakes on any more progress in that respect.

Additionally, over 100 developers assigned to the game, which was codenamed ‘Neptune’ according to the report, were let go from NetEase and an unknown number of devs were offered internal transfers.
