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 helpful site 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 will be free to play, and monetization plans have not yet been reveal
In a press release sent out today, Activision confirmed that it has teamed up with Chinese gaming juggernaut Tencent in order to bring a new Call of Duty mobile game to China. The game is set to be developed by Timi, the studio behind other mobile hits like Arena of Valor and Age of Gunslingers Online and will offer "a fun and original ‘Call of Duty’ experience." Rob Kostich, the executive vice president and general manager of the Call of Duty franchise says that the game will also deliver "superb gameplay and mechanics to mobile playe
A mobile release may not sound like the most natural choice for a highly competitive shooter like Call of Duty , but it seems to be working quite well for Fortnite . While **Call of Duty: Mobile ** might not take off quite as much, it at least gives players with decent smartphones a chance for some multiplayer action without needing to spend a d
Activision has released mobile 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
Later this year, Activision will release Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , a brand new entry in the main series of the game that will include multiplayer and Zombies gameplay , two staples of the series. But this isn't the only major Call of Duty project being worked on at the moment. A job listing confirms that Candy Crush Saga developer King is also working on a Call of Duty mobile g
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
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
The upcoming **Call of Duty: Mobile ** , aa free-to-play first-person shooter being developed by Tencent Games, has reached more than 13 million pre-registrations in China. The game has gotten a steady stream of pre-registrations since it was first announced, and it seems to have gotten a boost from a positive showing at this year’s ChinaJoy e
It's worth noting that this Chinese Call of Duty mobile game isn't the only mobile spin-off of the series that Activision has in the works. It was recently revealed that Candy Crush Saga developer King (which Activision now owns) is also working on a Call of Duty mobile title of its own. Job listings in relation to that game were only posted a few months ago, suggesting that it is still early in development. However, if the newly announced Activision/Tencent Call of Duty game doesn't head west, the King-developed title may be one to wa
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
