TheĀ CoDĀ battle royale is making its way to mobile devices
Call of Duty‘s massive multiplayer battle royale is officially headed to phones. Activision confirms it is currently hiring up to bringĀ Call of Duty: WarzoneĀ to mobile devices.
In a job recruitment post, Activision and theĀ Call of DutyĀ team describe the project as an “all-new, AAA mobile experience” that will bringĀ WarzoneĀ on the go. The experience is being built natively for mobile.
Activision is currently hiring for many roles, from programmers and producers to artists and product managers. The mobileĀ Call of Duty: WarzoneĀ sounds like it’s in for the long haul, as Activision wants it to run for “many years to come.”
It’s a move that makes sense, given how popular mobile can be. It does remain to be seen what this means for the currentĀ Call of Duty: Mobile.Ā The mainĀ Call of DutyĀ andĀ WarzoneĀ already feel like increasingly separate pieces of game. But it also feels like the two would be pulling attention from each other.
Call of DutyĀ itself looks like it’s in store for an interesting year. One report has indicated Activision could skip this year, aiming for a newĀ Call of DutyĀ in 2023 instead.Ā TheĀ WarzoneĀ experience is also due to get a sequel at some point, too.
Activision Blizzard is in some strange waters too. It’s currently in the middle of an acquisition by Microsoft, which may or may not change the way its games roll out. And it’s under significant scrutiny over the California lawsuit and allegations about its internal workplace culture.
