Call of Duty: Warzone launched to massive success. In an age where battle royale is the trendy genre and Call of Duty remains one of the most recognized video game IPs in the world, combining the two was bound to be a success - especially when made accessible by being free-to-play for everyone.
But will Warzone follow in the footsteps of other battle royale games and jump to mobile - and does it even need to?
Before we dive into the possibilities of Warzone appearing on mobile devices, it's important to point out that there is already a Call of Duty battle royale game available on mobile. Call of Duty: Mobile is free on iOS and Android and includes a 100 player battle royale mode alongside traditional multiplayer that evokes the iconic CoD gameplay, set on the most popular maps from the series' history.
There are key differences between Mobile and Warzone, besides the player count.
Call of Duty: Mobile features a completely different and smaller map, distinct game mechanics and a much more sci-fi oriented setting, based in the vein of the later Black Ops titles. Contracts, Respawn mechanics, the Gulag, weapon customization and other elements are either absent or wholly different. It's a good game, and a good take on a Call of Duty battle royale mode, but no Warzone.
