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

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

All of the key bullet points, or at least the features that most Modern Warfare 3 players flocked to the Call of Duty Elite service for, are on display in the app -- from tracking your career, setting up custom classes, and looking at recent matches. Unfortunately, the community-based offerings from Elite, things like setting up clans and participating in tournaments or challenges (you can track challenges howev

Although the press release says that fans can expect the mobile Call of Duty to release in the "coming months," Activision hasn't offered up a specific timeframe for the release. It's also unclear whether the game may ever make it to the west. While China's mobile gaming market is especially large (an estimated 582 million people in China will play mobile games this year), the game could also be lucrative if expanded to the global mar

While the game has only been out for a relatively short time, there are already numerous gameplay previews showcasing the action. From what has been shown so far, the gameplay looks fantastic for a mobile version of the game. It is clear that the extended period in which the game was in China was used to polish the game, as few other beta games look this g

Between Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are a number of games that may not be quite as popular, but all stand a chance of making a name for themselves this month. This includes games like Starlink: Battle for Atlas , which has gotten more attention thanks to its Star Fox -crossover content , and Soulcalibur 6 , which is coming off the heels of a relatively successful online network t

Call of Duty publisher Activision already has one major release for the series planned this year, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 set to launch in November . That's not all that the company is working on regarding its hugely popular shooter series, however, as Activision has now announced a Call of Duty mobile game for the Chinese mar

But, Activision wants to stress that Elite, like any great stat-tracking service, is constantly evolving, meaning that new updates should be on the way once the app reaches a certain level of stability. One of the positive signs about this iOS launch as compared to Elite's initial launch is being able to sign in on the first

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

September 2018 was a busy month for games, seeing the release of a number of critically-acclaimed titles including Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age and of course, the PS4-exclusive Spider-Man from Insomniac Games. However, if gamers thought September was a busy month, then they're going to be completely blown away by October, which stands to be the busiest month for gaming in all of 2

Elaborating on this gameplay slightly, the press release tells players to expect "a collection of beloved Call of Duty characters, maps, modes and weapons from across the franchise." Unsurprisingly, given that this is a mobile game, Activision also says that the game will be free to play. Presumably, the game will feature some form of microtransactions, though it's unclear whether it will make use of the controversial microtransaction patents held by the company since last y

Since the game was first announced, a number of modes have been discussed for the game, including Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy, and well-known maps like Firing Range, Hijacked, and Nuketown are all going to be a part of the rele

As promised, the Call of Duty Elite app is now available on the iTunes Store, but what Beachhead Studio and Activision had failed to stress to Call of Duty fans is just what features would be available, and how the app looks on your mobile device. Thankfully they have released a handful of screenshots, and a few more tidbits of information concerning the Elite app. Of course, the app is free of charge, so if you really want to see what it’s all about, there’s no harm in downloading
