E3 2019: Call Of Duty Mobile Aims To Bring Shooter Franchise To Mobile Devices

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.


In the meantime, there are some games where it's unclear if a Halloween event will take place or not. Last year, Destiny 2 didn't host a Festival of the Lost event like we saw in the first Destiny , but it's possible that will change this year. We'll just have to wait for Bungie to share more information one way or another to be s


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 mobile alcatraz map Release date of Duty game doesn't head west, the King-developed title may be one to wa


Over on consoles, it's being reported that Modern Warfare 4 may have a free-to-play component . If true, it could signal a big change in how the series' business model operates. Nothing is concrete at the moment, but many suggest a move like this could be in relation to a Battle Royale mode, if there are plans to include one. It is pretty typical to see Battle Royale and free-to-play going hand-in-hand, after


The Jump Force beta is certainly exciting, but the headlining beta event for October is easily Fallout 76 . Bethesda Games Studios' first crack at a multiplayer-focused experience, many fans are both excited and nervous to see what Fallout 76 will have in store, and Xbox One owners that pre-order the game can see what all the fuss is about beginning October 23. Meanwhile, PC and PS4 gamers can jump into the post-apocalyptic wasteland beginning October 30. The betas across all platforms will last until Fallout 76 's launch, and unlike many other beta tests, progress will actually carry over to the full g


Many other live services games will likely have Halloween events as well, including Pokemon GO . Pokemon GO 's Halloween event usually lasts a couple of weeks, and sees the spawn rate of ghost- and dark-type Pokemon greatly increased. Last year's Halloween event even saw the debut of the first third generation Pokemon, which has led to some speculation that this year's Halloween event could see the first fourth generation Pokemon added to the popular mobile g


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


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 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


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


Beta testing for the Call of Duty: Mobile game is chugging along on Android in select regions before it is eventually released this year as a free to play title on iOS and Android. Straight from the testing servers is a glimpse at the map for the game's Battle Royale m


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
