After 22 years, World of Warcraft has arrived on consoles, but without Blizzard’s help
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The MMORPG was made to run on the SEGA Dreamcast, though the graphics had to be downgraded. TES III: Morrowind can also now be launched.
Some MMORPG fans would like to see World of Warcraft on consoles. Blizzard Entertainment has yet to port the game, but recently it did get a console port after all — an unofficial one.
A modder going by the handle Cypress presented a pair of unexpected ports. He decided to port The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, as well as World of Warcraft, to the old SEGA Dreamcast console.
The fan-made WoW port is currently in an “alpha stage” and is being actively developed. Falco Girgis, who drew attention to the project, noted a swift response to criticism:
Yeah, the textures, especially on the ground, look pretty blurry. But the funniest thing is that right after I was sent the gameplay recordings, Cypress noticeably improved their quality in the next build… because Bruce gave him a hard time in the chat about the blurry ground. So that has already been sorted out.
This version of World of Warcraft features the original classes and abilities, while draw distance is limited. Otherwise, players can expect familiar mechanics and content.
Cypress is also working on a port of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind to SEGA Dreamcast — a few frames can be seen:
The projects have not yet been made publicly available.
