Blizzard Dives Into Warcraft Arclight Rumble’s XP Curve And Over-The-Top Special Effects

With all the hype surrounding the launch of World of Warcraft’s Embers of Neltharion update and Diablo 4, it’s easy to forget that Blizzard still has one other game in development – Warcraft Arclight Rumble. The dev team brings focus back to the mobile strategy game with several interviews that dive into its various gameplay systems.

Lead Engineer Andy Lim delves into the technical side of Arclight Rumble, explaining how the game calculates accumulated XP for each mini without breaking the game’s database or losing the ability to adjust the XP progression curve whenever the situation demands it.

“The game designers have the flexibility to change how much experience is needed to gain a level. They might decide that it’s too hard to level up at low levels and decrease the amounts needed to get to the next level,” Lim revealed.

But if you're more interested in eye candy than equations, Senior Animator Carin Huurnink shares her thoughts on the art of making the Warcraft universe fit on your mobile screen. With clear silhouettes, exaggerated poses, and bold movements, each unit will be easily distinguishable, making gameplay smooth and seamless. And with the help of VFX and audio artists, the game's animation reaches a level of epicness that animators alone could never achieve.

So, whether you're a fan of numbers or a lover of stunning visuals, Warcraft Arclight Rumble has something for everyone.
