Activision reaffirms commitment to CoD Mobile despite Microsoft\u2019s plans to \u201cphase it out\u201d ActivisionMicrosft planned on phasing out CoD Mobile in favor of Warzone Mobile. However, Activision stepped forward and reassured worried fans. Microsoft has been very outspoken about its plans for Call of Duty\u2019s future. Microsoft struck 10-year deals with Nintendo and Nvidia, potentially supplying Activision Blizzard titles to their platforms. This would open the door for players to have titles like CoD on smartphones and other devices. In August 2022, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer claimed, \u201cThe biggest gaming platform on the planet is mobile phones.\u201d He said mobile and PC gaming sat at the forefront of Microsoft\u2019s decision to pursue Activision Blizzard instead of CoD. So On March 8, when Microsoft claimed, \u201cCoD Mobile is expected to be phased out over time with the launch of Warzone Mobile,\u201d mobile gaming fans were shocked by a lack of commitment to their beloved game. CoD Mobile developers commit future to the game On March 13, Activision went against Microsoft\u2019s initial statement, announcing its plans for the future of CoD Mobile. \u201cWe are committed to Call of Duty: Mobile as an important part of the entire Call of Duty franchise and our overall mobile strategy. We have the best fans in the world and intend to continue supporting the game with a robust roadmap of fresh new CODM content and updates for the long haul.\u201d Activision Some community members doubted Activision\u2019s promise. One player responded, \u201cI mean, the deal isn\u2019t finalized yet. Activision can say whatever they want for now.\u201d A second user added, \u201cOnce Microsoft takes over, they don\u2019t have to continue support for mobile. It will be their company, and Activision will have to answer to MS. For now, this is just Activision saying stuff that may not matter in the future.\u201d Other fans remained optimistic, stating, \u201cok, thank god, this is a huge W,\u201d and \u201clong live CoD Mobile.\u201d EU antitrust regulators confirmed a decision by March 23, 2023, whether to clear or block Microsoft\u2019s deal. The UK CMA and US FTC also need to provide decisions as well, so we will keep you up to date when we learn more about the pending acquisition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
