However, the franchise hasn't seen a new mobile game since 2

So, while Activision Blizzard are in no danger of being significantly damaged by the financial competition posed by Fortnite , it's clear that bosses are paying close attention to its success. The inspiration Kotick mentions may be further evidence that Black Ops 4 will have a Battle Royale mode , or may simply refer to Epic Games' microtransaction mo

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

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

It's not too surprising to see King take a lead role in bringing the franchise to mobile devices. The company obviously knows how to make a profitable app — which is why Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard bought the company for a whopping $5.9 billion in 2

Activision ’s blog post goes into lengthy detail about what Call of Duty: Mobile ’s battle royale entails. First, it will be its own animal similar to, but ultimately independent from, Black Ops 4 ’s Blackout mode. 100 players duke it out in singles, doubles, or four-player squads (these playlists are currently being tested). The game presents six character classes to choose from. Defenders drop transforming shields for protection. The Mechanic utilizes an EMP drone that disrupts enemies with electromagnetic interference. Scouts can see hostile footprints and use a sensor dart to reveal their map positions. Medics build medical stations that provide continuous healing for allies. Ninjas have grappling guns which make their map movement effective. Finally, the more bizarre Clown class drops Toy Bombs that summon zombies to swarm nearby f

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 mention of Fortnite was inevitable given the game's unprecedented success - though it was more surprising to hear Activision Blizzard's Chief Financial Officer Spencer Neumann mention it in relation to revenue. After reporting on the company's better-than-expected first quarter earnings, Neumann noted that the company has "seen some near-term impact from Battle Roya

King is apparently building a new team based in Stockholm, Sweden, with the purpose of bringing the biggest FPS franchise around to mobile devi

2019 has been an eventful, if not tumultuous, year for one of gaming’s biggest franchises. Despite a strong start last year, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has since under-performed to the point that the next game could go free-to-play . For this year’s Call of Duty , signs point to the game being a fourth Modern Warfare entry . Couple that with a possible remaster of Modern Warfare 2 ’s campaign, and fans could be looking at getting three games this year alone.
