Candy Crush Developer Working On Call Of Duty Mobile Game

Last year, it was announced that Call of Duty: Mobile , a forthcoming entry in the first-person shooter franchise that is intended for iOS and Android devices, was on its way to China . Now, it seems that more players will have an opportunity to play Call of Duty on the go, as Activision has confirmed the game's launch for the W


Development studio King is best known for mobile games like Candy Crush Saga and Bubble Witch Saga , but the company is now preparing to take on the enduringly popular Call of Duty franchise. King is apparently building a new team based in Stockholm, Sweden, with the purpose of bringing the biggest FPS franchise around to mobile devi


In a press release sent out today, Activision confirmed that it has teamed up with Chinese gaming juggernaut Tencent in order to bring a new Call of Duty Warzone Mobile Lag Fix game to China. The game is set to be developed by Timi, the studio behind other mobile hits like Arena of Valor and Age of Gunslingers Online and will offer "a fun and original ‘Call of Duty’ experience." Rob Kostich, the executive vice president and general manager of the Call of Duty franchise says that the game will also deliver "superb gameplay and mechanics to mobile playe


Later this year, Activision will release Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , a brand new entry in the main series of the game that will include multiplayer and Zombies gameplay , two staples of the series. But this isn't the only major Call of Duty project being worked on at the moment. A job listing confirms that Candy Crush Saga developer King is also working on a Call of Duty mobile g


The most impressive thing we saw at E3 was Oculus Rift, the VR headset that's taking the games industry by storm. Even at Gamescom, the newly announced EVE: Valkyrie (the evolution of EVE-VR that we played) is blowing people away. Dev kits of Oculus Rift are available right now through their official site and the company secured $16 million in financing recently to take the product to the consumer market next year. If you have one and are looking for games, there's now a website just for t


Great news for the Vita! Not only was a price reduction announced at Gamescom this week, but two high profile games are making their way to the console. Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford always wanted Borderlands on the Vita and it's happening with Borderlands 2 coming to the handheld in 2


The four players responsible don't just stop at building the map; they go on to stage their own 2v2 deathmatch, killing each other without building to keep it "boots on the ground." This is made possible by Playground 's fast respawns, allowing the players to simply drop back down into the action after getting kil


Elaborating on this gameplay slightly, the press release tells players to expect "a collection of beloved Call of Duty characters, maps, modes and weapons from across the franchise." Unsurprisingly, given that this is a mobile game, Activision also says that the game will be free to play. Presumably, the game will feature some form of microtransactions, though it's unclear whether it will make use of the controversial microtransaction patents held by the company since last y


Konami announced the release date for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 which will hit PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 25, 2014. The sequel (and conclusion of the Lords of Shadow story) is set in modern times as players take on the role of a reawakened, but weaker Dracula in an effort to battle Sa


The recreation of Nuketown, which can be seen in the video below, is made entirely out of wood and is about as faithful to the fan-favorite Black Ops map as Fortnite would allow. Replacing Nuketown's iconic backdrop is Wailing Woods - but since the proportions are pretty spot-on, anyone who is familiar with Nuketown will recognize the buildings instan


The Playground LTM accommodates building by giving the player a greatly increased spawn rate of materials. Naturally, it didn't take long after Playground's release for YouTube to become flooded with wild creations, with some even choosing to rebuild areas of the map that were destroyed by the meteor at the end of Seaso


The Kickstarted game based on the incredible Yogcast YouTube team has endured a slow and repeatedly delayed development, so much so that we've almost forgotten about it (despite backing it ourselves). For the first time in a while, the devs at Winterkewl have provided an update and the good news is that the Closed Beta begins at the end of the month. Read all about the status of the game he


This week EA and BioWare announced Heroes of Dragon Age , a free-to-download microtransaction-supported mobile title developed by EA Capital Games. Players form a party of heroes from "packs" of 3D figures to battle online. The game is cross-platf


The new Call of Duty mobile game may not just make bank in the mobile sector, however. Releasing a mobile game could potentially be a good way of introducing new fans to the Call of Duty franchise as a whole. While Call of Duty: WW2 sold well when it was released last year, managing to reverse the poor performance of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare in 2016, the series has come a long way from its peak. Part of this is just down to series fatigue, but the access to shooter experiences on mobile platforms may have also led to that decl
