Game is described as “a new AAA mobile FPS in the Call of Duty franchise”

ORIGINAL STORY CONTINUES: In February 2020, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick said mobile was the publisher’s “largest” platform and that the company was working on mobile games based on all its top franchises.

A job advert for an executive producer of features on “a new AAA mobile FPS in the Call of Duty franchise” was spotted in September 2020 before being taken offline. It included multiple references to Warzone Mobile, suggesting Activision was planning to bring the battle royale hit to new platforms.

Activision launched free-to-play series entries Call of Duty Mobile in November 2019 and Warzone in March 2020. The former has been downloaded over 500 million times and the latter has attracted over 100 million players on consoles and PC, according to the publisher.

This February, Kotick said multiple free-to-play Warcraft mobile games were “in advanced development”.
