Microsoft plans to phase out Call of Duty Mobile for Warzone Mobile

"A divestment of the Activision segment would include a divestment of CoD: Mobile and CoD Warzone Mobile. An additional divestment of the Blizzard segment would also include Diablo Immortal (which is available on PC and mobile)," Microsoft adds. "These are among the most relevant mobile games published by Activision. It is these games, particularly Warzone Mobile and Diablo Immortal (rather than the King games), which would provide Microsoft with the assets, know-how and talent to develop mobile versions of its own console games."

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile was announced last September as a joint venture between Activision Shanghai, Beenox, Digital Legends, and Solid State.

A recent beta test revealed that the multiplayer maps for Warzone Mobile are from the Verdansk map for Call of Duty: Warzone. The game will feature classic modes such as Team Domination and Team Deathmatch. While the map for the Battle Royale mode has not been revealed, we expect that it will also be using the Verdansk map prior to the nuclear event in Warzone 1.

The upcoming mobile title will also be linked to the player's Call of Duty account on PC or Consoles. The games will have cross-progression, making grinding gun levels and skins much easier.

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is arriving later this year for iOS and Android. Pre-ordering the game will reward the player with an operator skin, two weapon blueprints, and other cosmetic items.
