“Call of Duty Mobile” still doesn’t have a release date yet after Activision announced that the game is indeed happening. After the reveal, the news has been met with some negativity since the community wanted new content rather than recycling old ideas and porting it to mobile.
Further irritating the community is that “Call of Duty Mobile” appears to have more content compared to “Black Ops 4.” And if that wasn’t enough, the maps of “Black Ops” and “Modern Warfare” series will be ported into the mobile version, something that Activision refuses to employ on the console version, Tech Radar reported.
Right now, it’s been reported that “Call of Duty Mobile” will have Hijacked, Nuketown, Crossfire, Standoff, Crash, and Killhouse as its map. It will come in four multiplayer modes: Frontline, Free4All, Search and Destroy, and Team Deathmatch. A zombie mode is also expected to make its way into the mobile version, with the possible addition of a Battle Royale mode when it launches.
And speaking of release date, Activision has yet to announce anything regarding this front. The latest news surrounding “Call of Duty Mobile” is that Activision has partnered with Garena and Tencent. The collaboration will bring the game to territories in South East Asia namely the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan, Rappler reported.
Activision has confirmed that “Call of Duty Mobile” will be free to play, although similar to most mobile games, its revenue will stem from purchasing skins for weapons and characters. It’s not surprising that Activision is heading this route since the mobile gaming market is predicted to grow from $56 billion in revenue in 2017 to $106.4 billion in 2021, USA Today reported.
To put into perspective, that figure would represent 59 percent of all gaming market by 2021. By launching “Call of Duty Mobile,” Activision wants to get a slice of that number. Looking through this lens, it’s understandable that the developer is combining content from “Black Ops” and “Modern Warfare,” which is a rare move for the company to make.
