World of Warcraft: Forever might live officially on PC, but people are playing it on phones and handhelds already
See you at the Crossroads.
If you’re a World of Warcraft: Forever player you’re almost certainly having your free time drained as you chain yourself to your desktop PC to play the game, or maybe a laptop. But for a small selection of true enthusiasts, the game is already working on mobile and handheld devices.
One such person showing off WoW: Forever on the go is none other than director of publishing at Larian, Michael Douse, who took to Twitter to show off the MMO being played on an AYN Thor device. For those who don’t know, this is a fancy android handheld console, a sort of beefed up DS for the modern handheld aficionado.
“Arguably too many layers of abstraction,” writes Douse. In the picture he posted, you can see the player character viewable on the Thor’s top screen, while the map, text chat, skill UI, and buffs viewable on the bottom. It looks pretty cool, and is made possible due to JReese702’s Github mod you can download at your leisure.

But it’s not the only mo-bell at the ball. Another Github WoW: Forever mod, WolkaraForever, gets the game playable on the iPhone Duo. As highlighted by CEO of esports company 100 Thieves Alex Wechsler on Twitter, the game looks to be ported pretty well to the phone, with mobile touchscreen controls viewable on both sides of the screen. Be warned though, as confirmed by Wechsler in a Twitter reply, it’ll get your phone running hot.

This coming alongside World of Warcraft: Forever’s built-in (and very good) controller support could mean the game has real potential to spread far and wide across the vast array of different hardware out there. Blizzard has already hinted at plans of porting the game to other platforms, so who knows? Maybe we can expect an official mobile port to tread the path paved by these community-made mods.
