Call of Duty Mobile is currently not available in the US and Europe, but Activision has promised it will be rolled out later this summer. However, if you game on Android and you can't wait for that vague date to arrive, its beta is being made available in certain regions at some point this week reports Games Radar . If you play on iOS, well, you'll just have to wait like the rest of

There’s really only one big concern with Call of Duty Mobile, monetization. Call of Duty games aren’t known for having the most generous business model, but it’s possible that Call of Duty Mobile might go down a darker path. Activision wasn’t willing to discuss monetization much but did confirm players can pay for cosmetic items. It would appear, however, that there are upgradeable perks and weapon variants players can use real-world money to purchase.

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

Casual solo 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

Asides from multiplayer, Activision also took the time to show off the battle royale mode. To be clear, Mobile’s battle royale mode is not the same as Black Ops 4’s. It’s entirely original with a map that uses elements from both Black Ops and Modern Warfare games. It looks like a capable battle royale mode with all the features players expect, though we sadly didn't get a chance to try it out. For a mobile game, Call of Duty Mobile does look quite good. All the iconic maps are accurate to how they looked in their original appearances, though there isn’t as much detail. We tested the game out on an iPhone XS Max and iPhone 7 Plus. Despite the age and power gap between the two devices, Call of Duty Mobile still looked and performed well on both devices.

Call of Duty: Mobile is the first of what could be three Call of Duty titles to arrive this year. Infinity Ward is currently hard at work on the next mainline entry that could potentially bring some big changes to the series . There’s also the recent rumor that a remaster of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ’s campaign is slated to release this year, though it remains unconfir

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. Somehow 2020’s Call of Duty game is already making headlines for reportedly skipping Sledgehammer’s turn at the series in favor of Treyarch developing a potentially rushed Black Ops

The battle royale bandwagon is currently traveling at full speed and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Not only games such as Fortnite and Apex Legends which are ultimately battle royale-centric, but also more established franchises that want to get in on the action. Call of Duty is one of those franchi

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

Matches can be played in first- or third-person perspective. Rounds begin with players selecting their classes and loadouts, and Call of Duty: Mobile wisely aims to streamline this process for speedier onboarding. The single, large map boasts a range of topography features from hills to rivers to bridges. It also sprinkles in many familiar sights from previous Call of Duty games like the Nuketown suburbs, Black Ops 4 ’s seaside coast, and the estate from Modern Warfare
