Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is an upcoming free-to-play battle royale first-person shooter mobile video game developed and published by Activision.[2] It is set to be released worldwide for iOS and Android on March 21, 2024.[3]

Gameplay

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is a first-person shooter battle royale mobile game, which utilizes the same gameplay style as the original Warzone and its sequel Warzone 2.0. Warzone Mobile features two primary game modes, "Battle Royale" and "Resurgence". Battle Royale hosts a maximum of 120 players per lobby (instead of 150, which was the standard for the original Warzone), while Resurgence lobbies host 48 players maximum.[4] Both game modes consist of Solo, Duos, Trios, and Quads lobby types (corresponding to squad sizes of 1, 2, 3, and 4 players, respectively).[3]

To survive, the player(s) must gather supplies and weapons from other players or remain in the "safe zone" on an open area that is continually closing owing to an expanding toxic gas. The winner is the last individual or team standing.[5] After being eliminated, a player is transferred to the "Gulag," where they will have the rare opportunity to be redeployed if they prevail in combat against another eliminated player. In Resurgence modes, the Gulag is absent; players respawn after a timer provided that there is at least one living teammate. Both the Gulag and Resurgence mechanics are available in-game until a predetermined point, at which players can no longer respawn without a teammate "buying" them back.[6][7]

Warzone Mobile uses cross-progression to synchronize its content with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Warzone 2.0 after the restricted release. It does not, however, support cross-platform gaming in addition to the Windows and console versions.[8] Upon release, the game will also feature classic Call of Duty multiplayer modes, such as Domination, Kill Confirmed, Search & Destroy, and Team Deathmatch, on a selection of maps including Shipment, Shoot House, and Scrapyard.[9][10] It is set to be released as a free to play title.[11] Warzone Mobile will also have controller support at launch.[12]

Development and release

On March 10, 2022, the development of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile (codenamed Project Aurora) was first officially announced. The official Call of Duty website published via its blog and Activision via Twitter the preparation of bringing the Call of Duty: Warzone experience to mobile devices, as well as an invitation to join the development team.[13] It was revealed on the Call of Duty blog that Digital Legends Entertainment, Beenox, Activision Shanghai Studio, and Solid State Studios are working on a mobile version of Call of Duty: Warzone.[14][15]

On May 11, 2022, another publication announced the start of closed testing of the alpha version of Warzone Mobile. On September 8, 2022, during the GameSpot Swipe Mobile Showcase, Activision Mobile Vice President Chris Plummer announced that Project Arora would be released under the name Warzone Mobile. On September 15, 2022, during the Call of Duty Next event, Activision announced the upcoming release of Warzone Mobile, slated for a worldwide launch in 2023.

The private testing phase ended on November 1, 2022. A few days later, invites to an event in London were sent out to content producers who had previously worked on the game's early phases. The purpose of the meeting was for them to meet with the developers, exchange stories about the testing period, and try out a new version of the game. The Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile Global Summit took place in private on November 13 and 14, and attendees were not permitted to share any information about the event until November 21.[16]

A pre-registration trailer was unveiled during the announcement. In November 2022, the limited launch version launched in Australia.[17] In October 2023 the game got delayed to early 2024.[18] Currently the limited launch version is available in Australia, Chile, Norway, Sweden, Germany and Malaysia.[11] On February 28, 2024, Activision announced that Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will be released for iOS and Android on March 21, 2024.[19]

Reception

The beta version received generally positive reviews from Tom's Guide's Marshall Honorof and IGN's Emma Matthews.[2][20]
