Note: The removal of these maps is temporary, and they will be reintroduced in forthcoming seasons, rotating in and out like other playlists in the game.
The Future of Call of Duty: Mobile
Fans of the game were anxious that the more traditional multiplayer options of Call of Duty: Mobile would be phased out with the launch of Warzone Mobile on iOS and Android devices. However, the team behind the mobile spinoff has reassured the player base by promising fresh content in upcoming seasons.
Warzone Mobile: A New Competitor
Warzone Mobile, set to debut on iOS and Android devices worldwide on March 21, 2024, allows players to experience iconic battle royale maps like Verdansk and Rebirth Island on-the-go. This has sparked concerns among the Call of Duty: Mobile community about the potential overshadowing of their beloved game.
Alcatraz and Shoot House: The Maps That Made a Difference
The Alcatraz map is a reimagined version of the Rebirth Island map, while the Shoot House map is also expected to feature in Warzone Mobile. The simultaneous removal of these maps from Call of Duty: Mobile and their inclusion in the new game led to rumors and speculation among fans.
Activision's Assurance: A Future for Both Games
Despite the similarities between Call of Duty: Mobile and Warzone Mobile, Activision has confirmed that the former is here to stay. The introduction of Warzone Mobile is not a signal for the end of Call of Duty: Mobile, but rather an expansion of the Call of Duty universe on mobile platforms.
