Blizzard has announced that going forward, Warcraft Rumble will continue to be supported with bug fixes and in-game events, but that it would stop producing new content for the game.
Quote From Blizzard Entertainment Dear Warcraft Rumble Community,
We have an important update on the future of Warcraft Rumble. After much deliberation, we’ve arrived at an extremely hard decision. Moving forward, we'll continue supporting Rumble with updates focused on regular, systemic in-game events and bug fixes, but no new content.
Warcraft Rumble began development nine years ago as a love letter to Azeroth and launched back in 2023, reflecting input from enthusiastic players around the globe and the effort of a passionate team—some of whom continue to support Rumble or other Blizzard games, and some we’ve had to sadly part ways with. Since launch, Rumble has struggled to find its footing relative to our ambition for its long-term success, and for some time now the team has been listening to player feedback, refocusing in certain areas, and exploring different options. Some of that work showed signs of progress, but ultimately wasn’t enough to put the game on a path to sustainability.
During this transition, we are focused on supporting our teammates. We’re deeply grateful to everyone at Blizzard and in the community for helping bring Warcraft Rumble to life and embracing the joy that makes this game so special. Your enthusiasm and feedback mean the world to us.
What do you think of this? Have you enjoyed the game? Let us know in the comments below.

Game was dead before it began. Im surprised it took this long
At least mercs held my interest for that brief period while it was alive. Never even bothered with this one.
I really liked the game from the start when it was fresh and new and plenty to do. But sadly, the game model as built around a HUGE grind which I believe is the reason the game failed. There were probably other reasons, but surely this was one of them.
Maybe they build it with WOW nostalgia in mind and thought the oldschool grinders would love it, but i think they grossly miscalculated and this is the result. Sad, but oh well.
Mercenaries deja vu. They keep locking fun behind massive walls of boring, and asking why no one's playing their games.
