Warzone to Replace Battle Royale in Call of Duty: Mobile

As Black Ops Cold War approaches, big changes are coming to Warzone in the form of an integration with Treyarch's latest title as well as a transition to the free-to-play Call of Duty: Mobile. A new job listing on Activision's website suggests that the current Battle Royale implementation in the Mobile title will soon be replaced with the larger-scale Warzone mode.

The job title for the now-removed listing is Executive Producer, Features (WZM) and is described as follows. In the job description, it is made abundantly clear that WZM will be a mobile adaptation of the Warzone experience which players currently know on the console and PC platforms.

As Executive Producer, Features you will own product framing and player experience of a new AAA mobile FPS in the Call of Duty franchise. Developing in collaboration with multiple Activision studio locations around the world, this leader is a skilled communicator and development leader who can define and harvest the important elements from Warzone console and PC into their best mobile instantiation.

Furthermore, the job description lists the following responsibilities which give increased insight into the philosophy behind Warzone Mobile. Given these points, it can be inferred that Warzone Mobile is in the early development stages, it's unlikely that fans will see an official announcement for quite some time.

Call of Duty: Warzone released on Tuesday, March 10th, 2020 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Battle.net), free-to-play on all of the aforementioned platforms as an extension to the premium Modern Warfare title. Since then, Activision states that Warzone has been an immense success and is now an important element to the Call of Duty franchise.

It's currently unclear whether Warzone Mobile will offer the same experience to mobile players that is currently offered to players on the primary platforms. This job listing leaves many questions to be answered which we can only hope will be answered in due time, likely following Warzone's transition to Black Ops Cold War.
