Spellbreak Developer Got Acquired By Blizzard Will Work On World Of Warcraft From Now On

Spellbreak developer Proletariat has been acquired by Blizzard Entertainment, according to a scoop published by GamesBeat. Financial terms were not disclosed, and the Boston-based studio, which announced sunsetting Spellbreak just yesterday, will work on World of Warcraft from now on as a fully integrated part of Blizzard. Actually, World of Warcraft General Manager John Hight said some of what they’re doing will appear in the Dragonflight expansion due to release later this year.

Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard Entertainment, said in a statement:

Seth Sivak, CEO of Proletariat, explained the decision to step away from Spellbreak:

Spellbreak caught our attention when it launched in September 2020. Reviewer Rosh Kelly gave it a 9 out of 10.

The combat is so well balanced, so innovate for the genre, and offers such a variety of depth and fun that it is impossible not to recommend the title to everyone looking for some short matches of thrill-seeking fun. Even if the menus aren’t polished, the combat itself is, and that’s by far the most important part of the experience.
