While fans wait anxiously for information on the next console title, another report states that Call of Duty 2020 is becoming Black Ops 5 , following the recent development of Treyarch taking over development on the game. According to the report, Raven and Sledgehammer are staying on as support, but the change in control is apparently due to disagreements between the two studios. Inside sources describe the game's development as "a mess," so hopefully this change is a step in the right direct

The Playground LTM accommodates building by giving the player a greatly increased spawn rate of materials. Naturally, it didn't take long after Playground's release for YouTube to become flooded with wild creations, with some even choosing to rebuild areas of the map that were destroyed by the meteor at the end of Seaso

The Call of Duty series has made its mark on mobile before, with apps based on its trademark Zombies mode, a real-time strategy game subtitled Heroes , and an attempt at a fully-fledged instalment designed for smartphones called Strike Team . However, the franchise hasn't seen a new mobile game since 2

After this year’s ChinaJoy, which ran August 2-5 in Shanghai, industry analyst Daniel Ahmad reported Call of Duty: Mobile had reached 13.6 million pre-registrations following its playable demo on the show floor. Its showing at ChinaJoy was the first publicly available demo for the game, but some players in China have actually had the chance to play the game already, through a beta test. Testers are being selected from pre-registered users, so there’s a good reason for so many people to have jumped on the bandwagon ea

Call of Duty: Mobile will be a multiplayer-focused game featuring aspects of previous games in the series, rather than an original new story. Everything from weapons and characters to maps and game modes will be pulled from other Call of Duty games. It has been confirmed for release on Android and iOS in North America, South America, and Europe, and is already in beta in Australia and Canada. Beta tests are planned for other regions, though no dates for the tests or the game’s full release have been announced. Call of Duty: Mobile Gaming Industry Impact will be free to play, and monetization plans have not yet been reveal

"Our challenge as a team is to create a Call of Duty experience on mobile that will strive to transform the best console experience fans know and love, while also breaking new ground for mobile and redefining the genre," reads a statement on the recruitment page .

Over on consoles, it's being reported that Modern Warfare 4 may have a free-to-play component . If true, it could signal a big change in how the series' business model operates. Nothing is concrete at the moment, but many suggest a move like this could be in relation to a Battle Royale mode, if there are plans to include one. It is pretty typical to see Battle Royale and free-to-play going hand-in-hand, after

The map is a combination of Modern Warfare and Black Ops locations, which includes areas like Crash, Estate, and Standoff. Because this information is coming from a testing server, all of it could change down the line - even the map - so nothing is final until the game is officially relea

China doesn’t have quite the history with the Call of Duty franchise as some parts of the world, largely due to the Chinese government’s aggressive stance of banning video games. Until 2015, all foreign consoles were banned, meaning the vast majority of gamers played either on PC or mobile. Once the console ban was lifted, China quickly became the world’s largest market for games, and the free-to-play Call of Duty Online was released exclusively in that country. Even now, the government has a heavy hand in censoring games . Last year, a nine-month freeze on new game releases was put in place while the government reorganized its approval process, and this year the rules for new game approvals were updated to exclude any game that depicts blood or corpses. That means Call of Duty: Mobile is likely to look a lot different from the rest of the franchise elsewhere in the wo
