Considering the sheer amount of content releasing this month, it’s not surprising that some people may have a hard time keeping track of it all. For those who are looking to add some games, betas, or special events to their calendars, here are all the biggest game releases, betas, and events for the gaming industry in October 2
Almost certainly a lock to be the best-selling game of the year, Call of Duty: Ghosts is appropriately getting the merchandise tie-ins. From Turtle Beach, comes several licensed headsets fit for the gamer at home or the pro-circuit eSports elite. Coming this Octo
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 collabs of Duty this year will be the cure for what ails t
Elaborating on this gameplay slightly, the press release tells players to expect “a collection of beloved Call of Duty characters, maps, modes and weapons from across the franchise.” Unsurprisingly, given that this is a mobile game, Activision also says that the game will be free to play. Presumably, the game will feature some form of microtransactions, though it’s unclear whether it will make use of the controversial microtransaction patents held by the company since last y
September 2018 was a busy month for games, seeing the release of a number of critically-acclaimed titles including Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age and of course, the PS4-exclusive Spider-Man from Insomniac Games. However, if gamers thought September was a busy month, then they’re going to be completely blown away by October, which stands to be the busiest month for gaming in all of 2
Activision has released mobile Call of Duty titles before, including paid-for title Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies and free to play strategy title Call of Duty: Heroes . These games have received plenty of positive reviews, with Heroes having a four and a half star rating out of more than 1.5 million reviews. But Activision purchased King for almost $6 billion in 2015 to bolster its mobile gaming efforts even further and the companies will be hoping to build on the success of Heroes and Zombies more with this next ti
Although the press release says that fans can expect the mobile Call of Duty to release in the “coming months,” Activision hasn’t offered up a specific timeframe for the release. It’s also unclear whether the game may ever make it to the west. While China’s mobile gaming market is especially large (an estimated 582 million people in China will play mobile games this year), the game could also be lucrative if expanded to the global mar
It’s worth noting that this Chinese Call of Duty mobile game isn’t the only mobile spin-off of the series that Activision has in the works. It was recently revealed that Candy Crush Saga developer King (which Activision now owns) is also working on a Call of Duty mobile title of its own. Job listings in relation to that game were only posted a few months ago, suggesting that it is still early in development. However, if the newly announced Activision/Tencent Call of Duty game doesn’t head west, the King-developed title may be one to wa
After fooling around with the app, I can say that it features a pretty slick design, and it delivers exactly what I would expect from a mobile version of Elite. If only this mobile app had launched sooner I think Elite would be just as huge as Modern Warfare
During the 2019 Game Developers Conference, Activision and Tencent unveiled **Call of Duty: Mobile ** for iOS and Android. The upcoming shooter looks to be the series’ most ambitious outing on mobile devices to d
Not only is October especially busy when it comes to brand new game releases, but it’s also a busy time for in-game events. Thanks to Halloween, October is usually stuffed full of holiday-themed in-game events, with some of this year’s already announced or ongoing. For example, Halloween decorations are all over the battle royale map in Fortnite , and Blizzard has already confirmed that the Halloween Terror event is coming back to Overwatch from October 9 to October
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
