After about a year of limited testing, Activision has finally announced a public release date Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. The mobile version will be available globally on March 21 for iOS and Android.
Of course, the main focus of the game is to bring the battle royale experience of PC and consoles to mobile devices. Still, surprisingly, Warzone Mobile also includes a lot of classic multiplayer maps and modes.

As revealed in the announcement blog post, the big news here is that Warzone Mobile supports progress sharing with Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone on PC and consoles. While we’ve known about the feature since the game’s initial release, it’s only now that we’ve learned how closely the three games are related.
Player levels (levels), weapon levels/unlocks, and most store bundles will be shared between the three. Thanks to this shared progression, you’ll be able to earn XP and unlocks in one game and use them seamlessly in other games – just like you do today in MW3 and Warzone.
Your Activision ID links everything together, and this also extends to your cross-platform friend lists, chats, and more. Interestingly, all games also use the same battle pass, meaning battle pass progression is shared as well.
In terms of content, Warzone Mobile launched Verdansk, a battle royale game that supports 120 players, and Resurgence, a 48-player game. Another interesting revelation from the announcement is that traditional multiplayer will also be part of the package.
You can look forward to some multiplayer maps such as Shipment and Shoot House. Available modes include Team Deathmatch, Domination, Confirmed Kill, and Search and Destroy – there’s even a hardcore variant.
Warzone Mobile supports controllers as well as standard touchscreen controls. Activision says you can expect extensive customization options for both input methods. You can also make adjustments to the visual effects.
If it feels like we haven’t heard anything about Warzone Mobile in a while, that’s because the game was delayed until quite late last year. Now that we have a release date, Activision says we can expect more details to be revealed in the coming weeks.
