Development studio King is best known for mobile games like Candy Crush Saga and Bubble Witch Saga , but the company is now preparing to take on the enduringly popular Call of Duty franchise. King is apparently building a new team based in Stockholm, Sweden, with the purpose of bringing the biggest FPS franchise around to mobile devi
Konami announced the release date for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 which will hit PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 25, 2014. The sequel (and conclusion of the Lords of Shadow story) is set in modern times as players take on the role of a reawakened, but weaker Dracula in an effort to battle Sa
With Fortnite and PUBG performing well on mobile, it was only a matter of time before Call of Duty tried its luck in the space. To its credit, the game looks impressively comparable to the mainline titles, and it would be even nicer if it featured controller support. This reveal also gives Activision a much needed change of topic. The company has spent recent weeks eating heaps of criticism for laying off hundreds of employees in February despite coming off a record high financial year. It also feels like the company is trying to find its way after divorcing itself from Bungie and the Destiny franchise last fall. We’ll see if potentially tripling down on Call of Duty this year will be the cure for what ails t
The free-to-play Call of Duty title is being developed in Unity by the Tencent-owned studio Timi. It combines characters, weapons, and locations from across the Call of Duty franchise. These include maps from the Modern Warfare and B lack Ops series such as Nuketown (of course), Hijacked, and Crash. Call of Duty: Mobile promises to feature a fully fledged multiplayer on par with its console counterparts. Returning modes include Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy, and Free-for-All. This won’t be the end of the game’s features, as the trailer promises that more features will be announced la
“Our challenge as a team is to create a Call of Duty experience on mobile that will strive to transform the best console experience fans know and love, while also breaking new ground for mobile and redefining the genre,” reads a statement on the recruitment page . The project will apparently feature an extensive amount of prototyping, which suggest that there’s currently no clear idea of how the mobile game will w
And while Phil Fish is taking a break from the world of video games after a Twitter meltdown (where he shockingly canned Fez 2 ), his original Fez is making its way to the PlayStation family, releasing for PS3, PS4 and Vita. There’s no timeframe yet but Blit Software is handling the porting duties, working with original developer Polyt
Great news for the Vita! Not only was a price reduction announced at Gamescom this week, but two high profile games are making their way to the console. Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford always wanted Borderlands on the Vita and it’s happening with Borderlands 2 coming to the handheld in 2
While the game has only been out for a relatively short time, there are already numerous gameplay previews showcasing the action. From what has been shown so far, the gameplay looks fantastic for a mobile version of the game. It is clear that the extended period in which the game was in China was used to polish the game, as few other beta games look this g
It’s not too surprising to see King take a lead role in bringing the franchise to mobile devices. The company obviously knows how to make a profitable app — which is why Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard bought the company for a whopping $5.9 billion in 2
Ubisoft formed Ubisoft Motion Pictures to begin actively developing live-action adaptations for their Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and Assassin’s Creed franchises in addition to TV projects. With more and more IPs coming from the studio, and talent already attached to AC and Splinter Cell, the next in line may be Watch Dogs with the game company signing a deal with Sony and New Rege
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 Warzone Mobile voice chat game since 2
Call of Duty: Mobile is the first of what could be three Call of Duty titles to arrive this year. Infinity Ward is currently hard at work on the next mainline entry that could potentially bring some big changes to the series . There’s also the recent rumor that a remaster of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ’s campaign is slated to release this year, though it remains unconfir
The most impressive thing we saw at E3 was Oculus Rift, the VR headset that’s taking the games industry by storm. Even at Gamescom, the newly announced EVE: Valkyrie (the evolution of EVE-VR that we played) is blowing people away. Dev kits of Oculus Rift are available right now through their official site and the company secured $16 million in financing recently to take the product to the consumer market next year. If you have one and are looking for games, there’s now a website just for t
