After the massive success of Call of Duty: Mobile, publisher Activision Blizzard wants more. Insert Overwatch Mobile, StarCraft Mobile and so on.
Activision Blizzard is one of the largest game publishers of the past decade. In addition to World of Warcraft, the merged company releases Overwatch, Candy Crush, Diablo, Hearthstone, StarCraft, and of course Call of Duty. The latter recently received one played an absurd amount Mobile version. Because of that game, the American company now has the taste!
Activision Blizzard wil meer Call of Duty: Mobile’s
Call of Duty: Mobile’s success is likely due to a number of reasons. First of all, it is the biggest shooter franchise at the moment. In addition, it appeals to such a large target group and the franchise represents the most popular game genre. All of that came together in a solidly developed mobile game, that one too officially on PC to play.
Now, the billion-dollar company is letting investors know that CoD: Mobile tastes like more. In the most recent earnings call says Activision Blizzard eventually wants to release all their franchises as a Mobile version (via GameSpot).
Mobile is not the neglected child
Activision Blizzard is thus responding to a gigantic market. After all, ‘real’ gamers are often a bit giggly about mobile gaming. Yours truly is often guilty of this. But secretly mobile gaming represents the majority of all gamers worldwide. Especially in poorer countries, gaming on a smartphone is very normal, whether or not due to a lack of other hardware.
Activision Blizzard therefore promises a Mobile version of their games for all those gamers. Not surprising, considering Candy Crush is one of the highest-earning mobile games ever. Hearthstone and now CoD: Mobile also yield Activision Blizzard hundreds of millions.
Activision Blizzard does not yet announce which franchises will come to Mobile and in which formats. We only know that a Diablo game is currently being worked on for smartphones.
