Prior to the reveal of the expected release window, on March 10, 2022, Activision confirmed that the game was in development, but they’ve not provided the exact release date yet.
Despite the lack of information concerning an exact date for the global launch of Warzone Mobile, the game has been available in certain regions thanks to a limited release. Players in certain regions like Australia have tested an early version of Warzone Mobile.
Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile had a limited release in Australia on November 30 and is now available there on Google Play with the iOS release coming soon to the Apple App Store.
Activision confirmed that the worldwide release is still planned for 2023, so players in other regions will need to wait for a bit before they can get their hands on Warzone Mobile.
On March 16, 2023, co-studio head Chris Plummer provided an update on Warzone Mobile’s global release and limited release. Plummer explained that the next regions to receive Warzone Mobile will be certain countries in Europe and South America.
Later, on March 23, it was revealed that Chile, Sweden, and Norway were added to the regional testing of Warzone Mobile.
In the video above, Plumer provides the reasoning behind the limited release of Warzone Mobile. The slow and methodical rollout of Warzone Mobile from region to region allows the devs to manage the game before it hits some of the biggest countries in the world.
Plummer claims that when Warzone Mobile is ready, a big-scale release will arrive, providing access to everyone around the world.
Activision have gathered several notable gaming studios and teams to work on the project. Solid State Studios (Activision’s new internal mobile team), Digital Legends, Beenox, Activision Shanghai, and Demonware will all come together to develop Warzone Mobile.
Along with the very first Warzone Mobile announcement, Activision also declared that they would be hiring individuals to work on the project.
Activision aimed to hire talented individuals to help work on the game. “From production roles to engineering, design, art, marketing, and more, we’re looking for game-makers, passionate fans, and genuinely awesome people to join our diverse team, inspired to deliver the next world-class mobile gaming experience to fans,” they announced.
