Call of Duty Mobile has been a massive money-maker for Activision (and now, by extension, Microsoft) since its launch in 2019, following which it’s been no surprise to see the company attempting to further expand the shooter franchise’s presence in the mobile gaming space. Recently, that entailed the global launch of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, though the free-to-play battle royale title has seemingly not got off to quite as impressive of a start as the series’ mobile debut did.
Activision pledges ongoing Call of Duty Mobile support as Warzone Mobile nears release

Activision has said it’s committed to supporting Call of Duty Mobile with new content on a seasonal basis as Warzone Mobile’s release nears.
The company’s pledge to continue updating the game was made as it announced plans to remove some content which will be made available to players in Warzone Mobile at launch on March 21.
“We wanted to let you know that Shoot House and Alcatraz will soon be leaving Call of Duty: Mobile,” reads a message on the game’s official X account. “This is not permanent, both will be returning later this year, rotating in and out each season like other playlists in the game.
“Call of Duty: Mobile will continue to get new content every season and there are no plans to change the breadth of content we bring to COD:M players. Stay tuned for more info on exciting new content we have coming this year!”
Warzone Mobile will feature battle royale and multiplayer game modes including Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed and Search & Destroy.
Multiplayer maps will include Shipment, Scrapyard and Shoot House, the latter of which will soon be leaving Call of Duty Mobile, temporarily at least.
Its flagship 120-player battle royale mode plays out on Warzone’s classic Verdansk map, while Rebirth Island supports 48 players and Resurgence rules, which allow players to respawn as long as one of their teammates is still alive.
Rebirth Island is a remake of Alcatraz from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4‘s Blackout battle royale.
Developed by Tencent’s Timi studio, the free-to-play Call of Duty: Mobile was released in October 2019 and had topped 650 million downloads as of May 2022, according to Activision.
The company said at the time that Call of Duty: Mobile had enjoyed a record year in 2021, with consumer spending “well above” $1 billion, following a surge in downloads coinciding with its release in China.
However, prior to completing its acquisition of Activision, Microsoft said it expected Call of Duty Mobile to be “phased out over time” for Warzone Mobile.
In response, Activision said last March that it would continue to support the game with major updates “for the long haul”.
Fellow free-to-play title Warzone Mobile is co-developed by Activision’s Shanghai, Beenox, Digital Legends and Solid State studios.
A limited release for the game began in Australia in November 2022, before rolling out to other countries including Chile, Norway and Sweden last year.
50 million players have pre-registered for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, according to Activision.

Activision Explains Why Call of Duty Warzone Mobile Has 120-Player Verdansk and PC and Console Do Not
It seems odd that Activision would release Call of Duty Warzone Mobile when it already has a hugely successful Call of Duty mobile game making millions of dollars for the company. But from a business perspective it makes sense. Call of Duty Mobile, the 2019 mobile first-person shooter spin-off that has seen 650 million downloads since launch, is developed by Tencent-owned TiMi Studio Group, and so not all the huge profits it generates benefit Activision’s bottom line. Call of Duty Warzone Mobile, on the other hand, is developed entirely in-house at Activision, and so the company gets a bigger slice of the revenue pie every time a player drops cash on a battle pass.
