It was by a brazilian rating agency.
Could be an error.

Likely an error because they pretty recently said they're not planning to release on consoles.

Sure that could be a smokescreen, but why even answer the question if it would be announced soon?

Well that would be something.

I mean they did add controller support with the expansion, along with references to the PS4/PS5.

Controller bindings were surfaced in the alpha at some point iirc. At the time they said it was just for more control options but hey. Could be cool if it was for a console release too.

Most likely an Error.

WoW is pretty much unplayable without full addon support and M/K controls especially in high-end content.

They *have* been working on a controller UI, so this would track with that.

Interesting. Dataminers did find controller support and links to Xbox and PS. Blizzard did comment that it's just for controller support and not ports though.

We would have seen more evidence from datamining already if it was real.

Controller support is being added since there's been unofficial controller addons for years now and Blizzard realizing a not insignificant portion of people use them for accessibility reasons.

Probably unlikely but this does line up with the controller UI.

Wonder if you'll get some gamepass shenanigans if it were true.

I mean, if subs are down and waning, this definitely could be a nice injection of new players would be subscribed for a while.\

How would it work? Who knows. Diablo 3 works beautifully on a console, but that's a different game..

Edit: or make this thing great again..

Shadowlands is getting official controller support, but I still think this is an error.

WOW + controller

Is this what hell actually is?

Considering how simplified the game has become over the years why would you need more than 7 buttons with L1 used to give another 7 button options.

There's lots of ways they could do it on a controller ignoring the fact Series X supports M&K anyway.

The game is quite comfy to play on a controller tbh, if it's set up properly. High level raiding isn't impossible either. A UI built for controllers should make it even better.

I bowed out of WoW four years ago but it still hasn't been simplified to that level. I'm also just imaging the nightmare of managing the UI.

It's always seemed insane that WOW never came to consoles like way earlier.

It's weird that it's only Xbox Series X. I'm pretty sure Xbox One would run the game just fine.

Unless this is a mistake or it's lacking other platforms.

If Start and Select are HP and Mana pots and the four directional points are used then you'd still need more than 18 abilities that you use regularly?
