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
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
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
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
As indicated by the tweets below, there are a wide range of different Call of Duty maps that are given the Fortnite treatment, with some of the more notable ones including versions of Nuketown, Modern Warfare 2 's Rust, and Shipment. While it's safe to presume that not every multiplayer map from the CoD franchise will get representation in Fortnite via its Creative Mode, should players remain diligent enough, then we may see loads more in the near fut
Call of Duty: Mobile boasts "multiple game modes" and several maps, including popular locations such as Nuketown and Crash. Activision says the game is "optimized for mobile," which should be the case although there's not much clarity in the statement. It probably means the controls, which could be a bit of a cause for concern, given COD 's fast-paced, all-action gamep
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
Call of Duty is finally coming to mobile devices. The Activision first-person shooter has been around for quite some time, with several titles having released over the years, and it appears that it will soon be made available for smartphones and tabl
The first trailer for the game surfaced on Monday detailing the game, which is called Call of Duty: Mobile . Yes, the game is free; and it promises the "heart-pounding, adrenaline-fueled action of Call of Duty wherever you
Of course, Fortnite 's Creative Mode doesn't have to solely be used as a means to recreate maps from other shooter franchises, as players can also choose to remake areas from the map that Epic decided to remove throughout the game's ever-evolving lifespan. For instance, with Dusty Depot having fallen by the wayside after a meteor struck the map and turned it into Dusty Divot , fans could always use Creative Mode to recreate the area and show it off in its former gl
Meanwhile, COD 's current mainline title is rumored to be set for a campaign mode later this year, with Black Ops 4 having launched without one in 2018. Reports claim that the new game will be called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and will be developed by Infinity Ward but no confirmation has yet been made on that front eit
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 Warzone Mobile lag fix 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
