Call Of Duty: Mobile Surpasses 13 Million Pre-Registrations In China

2019 has been an eventful, if not tumultuous, year for one of gaming’s biggest franchises. Despite a strong start last year, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has since under-performed to the point that the next game could go free-to-play . For this year’s Call of Duty , signs point to the game being a fourth Modern Warfare entry . Couple that with a possible remaster of Modern Warfare 2 ’s campaign, and fans could be looking at getting three games this year alone. Somehow 2020’s Call of Duty game is already making headlines for reportedly skipping Sledgehammer’s turn at the series in favor of Treyarch developing a potentially rushed Black Ops


After this year’s ChinaJoy, which ran August 2-5 in Shanghai, industry analyst Daniel Ahmad reported Call of Duty: Mobile had reached 13.6 million pre-registrations following its playable demo on the show floor. Its showing at ChinaJoy was the first publicly available demo for the game, but some players in China have actually had the chance to play the game already, through a beta test. Testers are being selected from pre-registered users, so there’s a good reason for so many people to have jumped on the bandwagon ea


The Call of Duty series has made its mark on mobile 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


While fans wait anxiously for information on the next console title, another report states that Call of Duty 2020 is becoming Black Ops 5 , following the recent development of Treyarch taking over development on the game. According to the report, Raven and Sledgehammer are staying on as support, but the change in control is apparently due to disagreements between the two studios. Inside sources describe the game's development as "a mess," so hopefully this change is a step in the right direct


With Activision having chosen to have a very low-key presence at E3 this year, it seems the publisher has decided to drop its big announcements just beforehand - the main one obviously being their next big Call of Duty title, which is now confirmed to be called Modern Warfare (which will no doubt confuse a lot of people). However, some info that may be overlooked are the new details regarding the Call of Duty mobile game and its battle royale m


However, it will take some cues from the aforementioned Blackout mode, like how players can retrieve dog tags from fallen teammates to revive them. Loadout elements will also be featured so players can customize their appeara


Of course, no single title is more relevant in the shooter genre than Epic Games' cultural phenomenon Fortnite Battle Royale - a fact that Activision Blizzard immediately commented on during its Q1 financial review conference call yesterday. "Gaming is constantly evolving and innovating, which often expands the marketplace," said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, "and the success of Fortnite is no excepti


"When we see people innovate in an interesting and impactful way, we’re very quick to capture inspiration from innovation, [...] When we see things appeal to our audiences, were very good to be inspired by tho


Fortnite and PUBG have thrived on mobile so there’s little reason to believe a recognizable brand like Call of Duty can’t have similar success. Cost and general monetization still needs to be clarified, however. Doing anything less than free-to-play would likely be an immediate death blow given Black Ops 4’ s decline. If nothing else, **Call of Duty: warzone mobile voice chat ** should serve as an interesting result of whatever lessons Activision has learned in the last y


Matches play out as expected with players wing-suiting in from above, scrambling for loot below, and navigating the ever-shrinking map circle. An auto-gather mechanic instantly assigns the best equipment; however, players can still equip items manually if they so choose. Doors open automatically by stepping towards them, and grappling hooks litter the map for quickly zipping around. The vehicle roster features ATV’s, SUV’s, light helicopters, and tactical rafts for additional traversal options. When teammates bite the dust, they can be revived by collecting their fallen dog t

In a blog post on the official Activision website , the mode seems unsurprisingly similar to PUBG (which some may argue ultimately defined the genre) though Activision's editorial manager David Hodgson prefers to compare it to the Blackout mode from Black Ops 4 . The rules and objectives are fundamentally the same as other battle royale titles - 100 players drop into a massive map, (which was shared online earlier this week) filled with recognizable locations from the Call of Duty series, and take part in a free-for-all to become the last player standing. There will also be options for duos and four-person te
