Warzone Mobile Launch Still Pales in Comparison to CoD: Mobile
Even thoughCall of Duty: Warzone Mobileposted strong numbers at launch, its reception is nowhere close to that of the previousCoDrelease on phones,Call of Duty: Mobile. For starters,Call of Duty: Mobilegarnered over $4.2 million in revenue within the first four days of its launch in 2019, as per AppMagic. However, it must be noted thatCall of Duty: Mobilewas the franchise’s first game on mobile — hence, there was an unprecedented level of hype for it.
Besides a comparatively weaker hype,Warzone Mobile’s lag issuehas also affected its player engagement. Keeping in mind that the game has a larger scope than anyCall of Dutymobile game in the past, these rough edges can be seen as anything but avoidable. Hopefully, Activision will roll out fixes sooner than later, streamlining theWarzoneexperience on mobile.
