Summary
- Activision is gauging player interest in two new Call of Duty mobile games: Call of Duty: Zombie Defender and Call of Duty: Sniper.
- Both games are set to be designed specifically for mobile users, with one focusing solely on sniping and the other centered around the fan-favorite Call of Duty Zombies experience.
- Those wanting to see these games released are invited to provide feedback.
Activision may be exploring the development of multiple Call of Duty games for mobile devices, further expanding the franchise’s reach. This move would align with the company’s ongoing strategy of bringing one of gaming’s most iconic series to a broader audience by delivering a Call of Duty experience specifically tailored for mobile platforms.
Throughout its history, Call of Duty has released numerous titles across different gaming platforms, with consoles remaining the most popular among many players. However, the launch of Call of Duty: Mobile in 2019 significantly boosted the franchise’s reach, also impacting Activision’s earnings and helping make mobile gaming one of the largest revenue sources for Call of Duty. This growth expanded further with the release of Warzone Mobile in March 2024. While it didn’t achieve the same level of popularity as CoD Mobile, it still generated significant revenue for Activision.
Call of Duty Hits Record Low on Steam
Gaming behemoth Call of Duty's player count on Steam drops to a record low after experiencing a long period of relatively unchallenged success.
Recently, Activision has been posting ads on its official social media channels for two new Call of Duty titles: Call of Duty: Sniper and Call of Duty: Zombie Defender. Both games are set to be designed specifically for mobile users, with one focusing solely on sniping and the other centered around the fan-favorite Call of Duty Zombies experience. The ads shared by the company feature various AI-generated images showcasing the concept of each game, along with a button linking to a fake mobile store landing page. When players click on the Download button, they are redirected to a survey where they can provide feedback.
Activision Is Reportedly Considering the Development of Casual Call of Duty Mobile Games
- Call of Duty: Zombie Defender
- Call of Duty: Sniper
While both Call of Duty mobile games featured in Activision’s social media ads are currently unavailable, they could be developed based on feedback from players through survey responses. If the company sees enough interest, these games could potentially be brought to life. Based on the concept images, it seems that the potential mobile games of Call of Duty could be designed to offer a more casual experience, and one that probably doesn’t require a significant entry investment like the PC and console versions. Instead, much like other popular mobile games, it could allow players to kill time while enjoying a title based on the iconic shooter.
Since this isn’t the premium Call of Duty experience that many players are accustomed to, in which development is kept under wraps and the release is supported by a massive marketing campaign, using targeted ads to directly engage fans is an effective way to test whether the game can generate enough interest. Although it’s unclear whether these experiences will be linked to other CoD titles on different platforms if they are ever developed and released, they could still help attract more players to Call of Duty, ultimately expanding its player base across all platforms.
