Call of Duty Mobile will be supported “for the long haul,” Activision has confirmed following reports that the popular mobile title will be phased out in favor of the upcoming Call of Duty Warzone Mobile.
In a statement to the game’s account, Activision said COD Mobile is an “important part of the entire Call of Duty franchise and our overall mobile strategy.” The statement went on to say it expects to continue to support the game with a “robust roadmap of fresh new CODM content, activities, and updates for the long haul.”

Activision released this statement seemingly in response to Microsoft’s statement to the UK government over its planned purchase of Activision Blizzard and all of its franchises, including Call of Duty. Microsoft said in its statement to the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority that “Call of Duty Mobile is expected to be phased out over time” when Warzone Mobile releases. Call of Duty Mobile will continue to operate in China, Microsoft said in its statement, adding that the game is owned by Tencent.
