Development studio King is best known for Warzone 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
Not too long ago, Epic Games decided to shake up the layout of Fortnite ‘s map once more by replacing Risky Reels with an area called The Block , which acts as a means to showcase player-made content from the free-to-play title’s new Creative Mode. With The Block now in place, fans have become inspired to show off their more imaginative sides by generating their own content for the game, with some now using the feature to remake classic Call of Duty m
The four players responsible don’t just stop at building the map; they go on to stage their own 2v2 deathmatch, killing each other without building to keep it “boots on the ground.” This is made possible by Playground ‘s fast respawns, allowing the players to simply drop back down into the action after getting kil
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
“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
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 mobile game since 2
Activision had previously announced that a Call of Duty mobile title was in the works for China and was being developed in partnership with Tencent. The latter’s studio, Timi, is responsible for the game’s creation and it is now being made available to North and South America, Europe and other regi
Later this year, Activision will release Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , a brand new entry in the main series of the game that will include multiplayer and Zombies gameplay , two staples of the series. But this isn’t the only major Call of Duty project being worked on at the moment. A job listing confirms that Candy Crush Saga developer King is also working on a Call of Duty mobile g
The new Call of Duty mobile game may not just make bank in the mobile sector, however. Releasing a mobile game could potentially be a good way of introducing new fans to the Call of Duty franchise as a whole. While Call of Duty: WW2 sold well when it was released last year, managing to reverse the poor performance of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare in 2016, the series has come a long way from its peak. Part of this is just down to series fatigue, but the access to shooter experiences on mobile platforms may have also led to that decl
Many other live services games will likely have Halloween events as well, including Pokemon GO . Pokemon GO ‘s Halloween event usually lasts a couple of weeks, and sees the spawn rate of ghost- and dark-type Pokemon greatly increased. Last year’s Halloween event even saw the debut of the first third generation Pokemon, which has led to some speculation that this year’s Halloween event could see the first fourth generation Pokemon added to the popular mobile g
October is typically the busiest month for game releases, and this year is no different. In fact, there are four games releasing this week alone that could all be considered fairly high profile, including Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Super Mario Party on Friday, October 5th. Overall, October 2018 is dominated by blockbuster, triple-A game releases, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , which is likely to be the best-selling game of the year , and the highly anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2 , which will hit stores on October 2
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
This certainly won’t be the last video like this we’ll see from the Playground LTM – it likely won’t even be the last Call of Duty map recreation. Between this new mode, and the current live events that are taking place as Season 5 approaches, Epic is continuing to set the industry standard on games as a live serv
