Summary
Call of Duty: Warzone Mobilehas revealed its launch playlists, which include a mixture of battle royale and 6v6 modes. The anticipated release ofCall of Duty: Warzone Mobileis a significant step for the franchise, as it offers new features not available in the olderCall of Duty Mobile.
More than a year after its initial announcement,Warzone Mobile’s release date of March 21was finally confirmed in February. Activision’s announcement covered other details as well, likeWarzone Mobile’s cross-progression with standardWarzoneandModern Warfare 3, full controller support, and the return of Verdansk. A pre-release version ofWarzone Mobilehas been available to play in certain regions for some time, and its graphics look solid on higher-end phones.
In a recent post on theCall of Dutywebsite, Activision laid out some playlists fans can expect to see come March 21. In addition to a standard Battle Royale mode that incorporates an increased player count of 120 users, it also features a mode called Mobile Royale, which incorporates better loot, more missions, and “faster combat.” Both modes are played onWarzone’s classic Verdansk map. Also included is a Rebirth Resurgence playlist on Rebirth Island, a mode that allows users to redeploy throughout a match if certain requirements are met. Furthermore,Warzone Mobilefeatures some ofCall of Duty’s traditional 6v6 modes in its Mosh Pit and Shoot the Ship playlists, where maps like Scrapyard, El Asilo, Hotel, Shipment, and Shoot House can be played.
Warzone Mobile’s Launch Playlists
Activision confirmed that some playlists will be rotated out with new ones throughoutWarzone Mobile’s lifespan, similar to standardWarzoneandModern Warfare 3’s regular additionsof new playlists.Warzone Mobile’s cross-progression with the two games covers account levels and battle passes. So, if users have already purchasedCall of Duty’s current battle pass, they automatically unlock the same pass inWarzone Mobilewhile maintaining their progression. Additionally,Mobileplayers can unlock five exclusive items as part of the current Season 2 battle pass once the game releases, but these items cannot be used on other platforms.
In an older, separate announcement, Activision also detailedWarzone Mobile’s control options. The choices include touchscreen, a Backbone One controller, or Bluetooth controller.Call of Duty’s official partnership with the Backbone One seems to be the strongest choice, although its price is a bit steep at $99. Alternatively, users can use Bluetooth-enabled controllers like the Xbox Wireless Controller or PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller, but their response times won’t be as speedy as the Backbone.
