After this year’s ChinaJoy, which ran August 2-5 in Shanghai, industry analyst Daniel Ahmad reported Call of Duty: Mobile had reached 13.6 million pre-registrations following its playable demo on the show floor. Its showing at ChinaJoy was the first publicly available demo for the game, but some players in China have actually had the chance to play the game already, through a beta test. Testers are being selected from pre-registered users, so there’s a good reason for view site… so many people to have jumped on the bandwagon ea

The upcoming **Call of Duty: Mobile ** , aa free-to-play first-person shooter being developed by Tencent Games, has reached more than 13 million pre-registrations in China.

A mobile release may not sound like the most natural choice for a highly competitive shooter like Call of Duty , but it seems to be working quite well for Fortnite . While **Call of Duty: Mobile ** might not take off quite as much, it at least gives players with decent smartphones a chance for some multiplayer action without needing to spend a d
The map is a combination of Modern Warfare and Black Ops locations, which includes areas like Crash, Estate, and Standoff. Because this information is coming from a testing server, all of it could change down the line – even the map – so nothing is final until the game is officially relea
China doesn’t have quite the history with the Call of Duty franchise as some parts of the world, largely due to the Chinese government’s aggressive stance of banning video games. Until 2015, all foreign consoles were banned, meaning the vast majority of gamers played either on PC or mobile. Once the console ban was lifted, China quickly became the world’s largest market for games, and the free-to-play Call of Duty Online was released exclusively in that country. Even now, the government has a heavy hand in censoring games . Last year, a nine-month freeze on new game releases was put in place while the government reorganized its approval process, and this year the rules for new game approvals were updated to exclude any game that depicts blood or corpses. That means Call of Duty: Mobile is likely to look a lot different from the rest of the franchise elsewhere in the wo

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
While gamers will have no shortage of brand new, full-release games to try in October, they will also have some betas to test as well. Jump Force , the upcoming anime fighting game featuring characters like Naruto, Goku, Luffy , and even Yugi Moto, will have a closed beta that will take place from October 12 to October
Call of Duty: Mobile will be a multiplayer-focused game featuring aspects of previous games in the series, rather than an original new story. Everything from weapons and characters to maps and game modes will be pulled from other Call of Duty games. It has been confirmed for release on Android and iOS in North America, South America, and Europe, and is already in beta in Australia and Canada. Beta tests are planned for other regions, though no dates for the tests or the game’s full release have been announced. Call of Duty: Mobile will be free to play, and monetization plans have not yet been reveal
At Gamescom EA brought a customized tank to make an impression for the up and coming free-to-play reboot of Command & Conquer . Taking a note from Wargaming.net who frequent E3 with WWII vehicles, the devs take us behind-the-sce
Of course, Fortnite ‘s Creative Mode doesn’t have to solely be used as a means to recreate maps from other shooter franchises, as players can also choose to remake areas from the map that Epic decided to remove throughout the game’s ever-evolving lifespan. For instance, with Dusty Depot having fallen by the wayside after a meteor struck the map and turned it into Dusty Divot , fans could always use Creative Mode to recreate the area and show it off in its former gl
