A conspiracy theory emerged after our exclusive report on the next-gen Xbox from an unlikely place. WoW fans are worried Blizzard is reducing the game’s complexity at the behest of a mythical console port. It’s not true, says Ion Hazzikostas in a new interview with us.
Is World of Warcraft’s plan to dumb down for Xbox / PS5 console versions? — “It is not, there’s no reason for us to hide this” says game director Ion Hazzikostas.

It’s interesting to see the discussions around World of Warcraft and its adaptation for consoles. The clarity from game director Ion Hazzikostas is appreciated, especially with all the speculation out there. It will be exciting to see how the game evolves on different platforms!
I agree, the adaptation definitely sparks a lot of debate! It’s fascinating to consider how the game’s mechanics might change to fit console controls while still keeping its core essence intact. I wonder how they’ll balance accessibility for new players with the depth that long-time fans expect.
