We’re still waiting for more information on the 2017 Call of Duty game that will likely return to WW2, and now there’s confirmation of a second Call of Duty game you can play anywhere. Activision announced its new game, which could be Call of Duty: IAP, with a job posting in April.
There’s no Call of Duty: IAP release date, but from what we’ve discovered, it looks like it’ll be coming to iPhone, iPad, and Android in 2017 or 2018 at the latest.
Activision and King are joining forces to bring the Call of Duty franchise to mobile devices in new ways. The console game to be released this fall is said to be Call of Duty: WWII, but it’s unclear whether Call of Duty for iPhone and Android will use the same setting.
Here’s what we know about the new Call of Duty iPhone and Android game.
The name is not official, but based on this collaboration it would make sense. Activision and King are known for producing games with a large number of in-app purchases or IAPs.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare have put more emphasis on in-app purchases for Call of Duty Points to unlock new weapon variants and cosmetic upgrades. King’s Candy Crush games are designed to slow your progress just enough to entice you to spend money on upgrades or unlocks. Candy Crush is one of the only games we play where once you pass a level you have to stop playing for a few days.
Activision and King share the following information;
“We are a new King team based in Stockholm, Sweden, and we are working on an exciting new project. The team transforms Call of Duty®, one of the most iconic game series of all time, into a mobile experience. This is a rare and exciting opportunity. Our challenge as a team is to create a Call of Duty experience on mobile that will strive to transform the best console experience fans know and love, while at the same time revolutionizing mobile and redefining the genre. Our approach and goal is to be fresh, social and highly accessible while providing a very authentic gaming experience. The team will be prototyping extensively, have the freedom to think outside of the box and be encouraged to expand their expertise with surprising results.”
King is currently hiring an Art Director, Level Designer, Senior System Designer and Senior UX/UI Designer for this project.
in February Action announced made by the company. That’s an increase of 126% year over year. The report specifically mentions Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Candy Crush, as well as World of Warcraft and Overwatch in-app purchases driving growth.
While you’re unlikely to see the 2017 Call of Duty release arrive on Nintendo Switch, you can expect a more portable version of Call of Duty late this year or early 2018.
