The Companion App will let players choose between Legion and Battle for Azeroth starting at Shadowlands pre-patch, with Shadowlands content becoming available at the launch of the expansion. We also knew that with the arrival of Shadowlands, players would have the option to level their alts through Legion via Timewalking Campaigns, and we wanted to make sure those players would have full mobile support for their level-up experience. In addition, the mobile team was eager to give the community what they wanted and bring back Legion content.We briefly discussed the option of supporting only partial functionality from previous expansions to maximize our ability to work on Shadowlands content, but we quickly decided that we wanted to restore as much functionality as possible. The tradeoff was that we weren’t able to build out the kind of framework that would be necessary to support more than one expansion at a time-so we swapped the single expansion that the app supported from Legion to the latest expansion, Battle for Azeroth.We know that players were disappointed to lose access to Legion content within the app when we made the switch, so we made a commitment with Shadowlands to support more than one expansion at a time. Leading up to Battle for Azeroth, we made the decision to prioritize several major back-end improvements, including the ability for the app to share code with the PC client, which allows us to take advantage of many of the features and tools that are available to the main game’s UI (user interface) that the app previously did not have access to. We know it’s a feature many players have been asking for, and today we wanted to share some of the challenges and decisions involved in making this kind of large-scale tech change.Ī Little HistoryThe Companion App was originally designed to support one expansion: Legion.
