Call of Duty: Mobile, a new free-to-play game that “brings together maps, modes, weapons, and characters from across the Call of Duty franchise” is headed to North America, South America, Europe and more.
Activision, in collaboration with Tencent and its developer Timi, announced Call of Duty: Mobile for Android and iOS devices and fans can pre-register today to get access to a public beta that will be arriving this summer.
Players will be able to compete in “such fan-favorite modes as Team Deathmatch, Search and Destory and Free-For-All, in iconic maps from the series such as Nuketown, Crash, Hijacked and more.”

As players progress, they will unlock classic Call of Duty characters, weapons, scorestreaks, and more, and Activision and Tencent are teasing that, in addition to classic multiplayer, their will be other modes to look forward to.
“We are delivering the definitive, first person action experience in a new mobile title with incredible graphics and visceral Call of Duty gameplay,” said Chris Plummer, VP, Mobile at Activision. “Together with the amazing team at Tencent, we’re bringing together a collection of the most beloved maps, competitive modes, familiar characters and signature weapons from across this storied franchise into one epic experience for the first time on mobile.”
In the announcement trailers, there is a brief glimpse of a potential zombies mode, which would be a no-brainer to add to Call of Duty’s mobile offering. Also, while not confirmed, adding a mode similar to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode shouldn’t be out of the question.
