Activision Pulls the Plug on Warzone Mobile
In a stunning turn of events, Activision, now under Microsoft's umbrella, has announced that Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will be shutting down on May 18, 2025, barely a year after its global debut. The game failed to resonate with mobile players compared to its much-appreciated counterparts on PC and consoles.
What Went Wrong?
The disappointing news was shared via a post on the social media platform X, where Activision attributed the decision to unmet expectations. Despite offering exciting features like cross-progression with its console siblings, the mobile version didn’t hit the mark among dedicated mobile gamers.
Access and Updates: What You Need to Know
For existing players, there’s a small silver lining: if you download the game before May 19, 2025, you can still access it and maintain your shared inventories. However, all new content and game updates have been nixed, and any social features will be officially retired.
Moreover, players will no longer be able to purchase new in-game items using real money. Activision also confirmed on their support page that no refunds will be issued for purchases made prior to the shutdown.
A Fond Farewell?
In their announcement, Activision expressed gratitude to the community for their dedication. They acknowledged the effort to bring a ‘true’ Warzone experience to mobile, albeit with disappointing results. The company aims to incentivize Warzone Mobile players to transition to Call of Duty: Mobile, where new adventures await.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Call of Duty on Mobile
While the end of Warzone Mobile may indicate a setback for Activision in the mobile gaming space, it also raises questions about the future direction of the franchise. Will they revamp or reimagine their mobile strategy to capture the hearts of mobile-first gamers?
Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain: Activision’s next move will be closely watched by gamers and industry insiders alike.
