In an unexpected revelation, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has announced the release of the highly anticipated Call of Duty Warzone Mobile for the upcoming fall season. This Wednesday, the news broke during Kotick’s court testimony amidst Microsoft’s legal dispute with the US Federal Trade Commission.
The Microsoft-FTC case revolves around the proposed mega-transaction, a colossal $69 billion acquisition deal of Activision Blizzard by the technology giant Microsoft. The deal has been scrutinized and opposed by the US FTC due to concerns about industry competition.
First introduced to the public eye last September, the development of Warzone Mobile is a collaborative effort by Activision’s Shanghai, Beenox, Digital Legends, and Solid State studios. Initially, the global roll-out for Android and iOS platforms was earmarked for some time in 2023, but recent updates suggest that fans won’t have to wait as long.
Warzone Mobile is packed with a captivating suite of multiplayer modes, adding a new dimension to the Call of Duty franchise. Notably, its flagship feature will be a 120-player battle royale mode, offering players an immersive and intense gaming experience.
However, Activision Blizzard is not stopping there. The mobile version will also feature modes like Domination and Team Deathmatch to enhance player engagement and deliver unique gameplay opportunities. These are specially crafted to enable players to elevate their weapon level-ups and skills, providing an enriched game progression experience.
