Level Up Across PC, Consoles
For players coming from the PC and consoles, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is confirmed to support shared progression across the platforms. Players would only need to log in using their Activision ID, and most content acquired in Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone will be transferred and continuously available between the games.
The contents that are shared between the platforms are:
- Player Level
- Weapon Level
- Battle Pass Progression
- Store Bundles
Take Your Friends With You
Of course, what’s a Battle Royale experience without cooperating (or sabotaging) with your friends? The game also features a shared friends list, and chat channels across platforms.
In-game social features such as Proximity Chat and Death Chat also make a return in Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile.
Control and Accessibility Settings
Control and Accessibility settings for the game have also been optimized for a mobile experience, with about every element of the control interface being customizable to the player’s liking, including extensive HUD adjustments, detailed controller settings, and graphical options that prioritize performance, graphics, or a balanced mix. The game also supports controller settings for those looking for a more try hard experience.
Battle Royale and Resurgence
For Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, players can either choose to play the classic battle royale experience on the Verdansk map or opt for a smaller-scale, but more chaotic battle on Rebirth Island.
Verdansk, the debut map of the game makes a return, with match support with up to 120 players accompanied by the standard battle royale experience. Players who fall in battle here will get a chance to be redeployed by fighting through the Verdansk Gulag.
Rebirth Island brings a twist to the standard battle royale experience, with only 48 players duking out on the smaller island. This map features Resurgence rules, where players can respawn as long as their teammates are alive, allowing for more chances to battle.
Multiplayer
While Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile focuses on the battle royale experience, multiplayer offers player with an alternative experience, featuring the classic Call of Duty experience.
This mode brings back the classic multiplayer maps, including but not limited to:
- Shipment
- Shoot House
- Scrapyard
Classic modes such as Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Search and Destroy will be featured in the multiplayer mode as well.
As mentioned previously, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is slated to launch on March 21st, 2024 on mobile devices
