Not only is October especially busy when it comes to brand new game releases, but it's also a busy time for in-game events. Thanks to Halloween, October is usually stuffed full of holiday-themed in-game events, with some of this year's already announced or ongoing. For example, Halloween decorations are all over the battle royale map in Fortnite , and Blizzard has already confirmed that the Halloween Terror event is coming back to Overwatch from October 9 to October

Blackout, the version of battle Royale used in this series, is a bit of an unknown at the moment. The mode has not yet been confirmed, only hinted at. It stands to reason that there has to be something to compete with the other big players in the battle royale market, unless the developers believe that classic modes of the Call of Duty series can compete with the popular modes of to

Fortnite and PUBG have thrived on mobile so there’s little reason to believe a recognizable brand like Call of Duty can’t have similar success. Cost and general monetization still needs to be clarified, however. Doing anything less than free-to-play would likely be an immediate death blow given Black Ops 4’ s decline. If nothing else, **Call of Duty: Mobile ** should serve as an interesting result of whatever lessons Activision has learned in the last y

Matches play out as expected with players wing-suiting in from above, scrambling for loot below, and navigating the ever-shrinking map circle. An auto-gather mechanic instantly assigns the best equipment; however, players can still equip items manually if they so choose. Doors open automatically by stepping towards them, and grappling hooks litter the map for quickly zipping around. The vehicle roster features ATV’s, SUV’s, light helicopters, and tactical rafts for additional traversal options. When teammates bite the dust, they can be revived by collecting their fallen dog t

While gamers will have no shortage of brand new, full-release games to try in October, they will also have some betas to test as well. Jump Force , the upcoming anime fighting game featuring characters like Naruto, Goku, Luffy , and even Yugi Moto, will have a closed beta that will take place from October 12 to October

_Call of Duty: Mobile _ made its presence known during GDC 2019, and Activision has announced it will feature its own battle royale mode . The portable version of the popular shooter is coming to iOS and Android presumably this year. Despite the drop in screen size, it aims to retain all of the gameplay and production whistles of the primary ga

Gameplay promises to preserve the smooth-as-butter controls and rapid pace that fans have come to expect. Like the standard games, players still play to unlock new scorestreaks and a variety of equipment to customize their characters and loadouts. Call of Duty: Mobile doesn’t have a release date yet, but it will be available in North and South America as well as Europe. Players can pre-register now on the game’s website . Early birds will gain access to a public beta slated to begin this summer in select regi

Call of Duty: Mobile has finally entered into beta after a seemingly endless wait on both iOS and Android devices. Like most beta testing periods, certain regions will have access before others, but for now, eager users can head over to the Google Play Store and Apple Store to pre-register for access once it becomes available in more regi

Activision has released mobile gaming industry impact Call of Duty titles before, including paid-for title Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies and free to play strategy title Call of Duty: Heroes . These games have received plenty of positive reviews, with Heroes having a four and a half star rating out of more than 1.5 million reviews. But Activision purchased King for almost $6 billion in 2015 to bolster its mobile gaming efforts even further and the companies will be hoping to build on the success of Heroes and Zombies more with this next ti

With Fortnite and PUBG performing well on mobile, it was only a matter of time before Call of Duty tried its luck in the space. To its credit, the game looks impressively comparable to the mainline titles, and it would be even nicer if it featured controller support. This reveal also gives Activision a much needed change of topic. The company has spent recent weeks eating heaps of criticism for laying off hundreds of employees in February despite coming off a record high financial year. It also feels like the company is trying to find its way after divorcing itself from Bungie and the Destiny franchise last fall. We'll see if potentially tripling down on Call of Duty this year will be the cure for what ails t

In addition, there still have not been any solid plans detailed about how the game will be monetized. As the game is expected to be a free-to-play entrant into the market, cosmetic items are all but sure to be included, as well as possibly loot bo
