Warcraft Rumble is Coming to New Platform

Key Takeaways

  • Warcraft Rumble is coming to PC with a beta starting on December 10 via the Battle.net launcher.
  • Players hope for crossplay between PC and mobile, similar to Hearthstone, for PvP and PvE content.
  • The expansion to PC may bring a resurgence of new players.



Warcraft Rumble is officially coming to PC, with the beta starting on December 10. Players will soon be able to play Warcraft Rumble on their PC via the Battle.net launcher.

Last year, Blizzard released Warcraft Rumble, a mobile “tower offense” game inspired by classic WoW and the original RTS games. Players build teams consisting of one iconic Warcraft Leader mini, alongside six units or spells, and then challenge maps, dungeons, and raids against familiar bosses, all rendered in a charming toy-like style.

World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Warcraft Rumble fans can earn digital rewards through Twitch, YouTube, or TikTok to celebrate Warcraft Direct.

Now, Warcraft’s mobile game is finally moving to a new platform. During the recent Warcraft Direct presentation, Warcraft Rumble confirmed it would be coming to PC soon, with the beta starting on December 10. The game will use the Battle.net client and can be run simultaneously alongside other games, including World of Warcraft, meaning fans can play while waiting in queue for WoW dungeons and raids.



Warcraft Rumble PC Beta Begins December 10

While the specifics for this new platform are not completely known, Hearthstone is probably a good indication as to how it will work. Though the clients are updated independently of one another, Hearthstone features full mobile and PC crossplay, and players have full access to their collections on both platforms. Warcraft Rumble will likely do the same, letting players freely jump between PC and mobile, match with players from both platforms during both PvP, and team up with Warcraft Rumble guild mates for PvE group content like raids regardless of what they are playing on.


This platform expansion is huge news for Warcraft Rumble. The game has been going strong since its release, with regular updates and new minis released every month or so. However, its limitations on being mobile-only dissuaded many fans from giving it a shot. Now that gamers will soon be able to play on PC, Warcraft Rumble may experience a resurgence of new players.

This wasn’t the only Warcraft Rumble news featured in the Warcraft Direct. The mobile game also introduced the concept of Split Leaders, with the Season 1 mini, Sylvanas, being retroactively reworked into a Horde-Undead character. It also teased three new Leaders coming in the future that will use this mechanic: Malfurion Stormrage for the Alliance and the new Cenarion family in Warcraft Rumble, Orgrim Doomhammer as Blackrock-Horde, and Anub’arak representing both the Beast and Undead factions. These Split Leaders count as units for both families, gaining all faction benefits from Dungeon Relics and other upgrades, appearing on the G.R.I.D. and in dungeons and tomes for both factions, and splitting guild credit from Arclight Surges and PvP. These new Leaders are a game-changer for Warcraft Rumble, and new PC players will want to be familiar with them before they dive into the chaos.
