Candy Crush Developer Working On Call Of Duty Mobile Game

Last year, it was announced that Call of Duty: Mobile , a forthcoming entry in the first-person shooter franchise that is intended for iOS and Android devices, was on its way to China . Now, it seems that more players will have an opportunity to play Call of Duty on the go, as Activision has confirmed the game's launch for the W


Call of Duty: Mobile will be free-to-play, and it looks to bring together "a collection of beloved Call of Duty characters, maps, modes, and weapons" culled from across the series. This will include maps like Nuketown and Crash, which are seen in an announcement trailer that was recently sha

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


Development studio King is best known for mobile games like Candy Crush Saga and Bubble Witch Saga , but the company is now preparing to take on the enduringly popular Call of Duty franchise. King is apparently building a new team based in Stockholm, Sweden, with the purpose of bringing the biggest FPS franchise around to mobile devi


The Call of Duty series has made its mark on Mobile Battle Royale Games before, with apps based on its trademark Zombies mode, a real-time strategy game subtitled Heroes , and an attempt at a fully-fledged instalment designed for smartphones called Strike Team . However, the franchise hasn't seen a new mobile game since 2


This trailer also offers more details on what fans can expect from the mobile title. While, of course, it gives a look at gameplay, it further emphasizes Call of Duty: Mobile 's focus on "signature multiplayer" and fighting alongside frie


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


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


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


According to the most-recent blog post by Tencent on the Call of Duty website, "The first limited-scale closed beta test began this week in India. Soon, Australia will be next to start testing, and more territories are planned in the months to foll


"Our challenge as a team is to create a Call of Duty experience on mobile that will strive to transform the best console experience fans know and love, while also breaking new ground for mobile and redefining the genre," reads a statement on the recruitment page . The project will apparently feature an extensive amount of prototyping, which suggest that there's currently no clear idea of how the mobile game will w


It's not too surprising to see King take a lead role in bringing the franchise to mobile devices. The company obviously knows how to make a profitable app — which is why Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard bought the company for a whopping $5.9 billion in 2


Blackout, the version of battle Royale used in this series, is a bit of an unknown at the moment. The mode has not yet been confirmed, only hinted at. It stands to reason that there has to be something to compete with the other big players in the battle royale market, unless the developers believe that classic modes of the Call of Duty series can compete with the popular modes of to


In addition to all of that, battle royale players will have six classes to choose from, and also be able to customize their loadouts before each new round begins. Along with a battle royale mode, CoD Mobile will also include a traditional multiplayer option and, of course, zombies. Now, all we need to know is when we can get our hands on it. Hopefully, we don't have to wait long for a definitive release d
