Article Summaries:
- Activision announced that Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will be permanently shut down on April 17 2026. The mobile title, launched for iOS and Android in March 2024 after several delays, had already been removed from app stores in May 2025 and support-seasonal content, social features, gameplay updates and real‑currency in‑app purchases-was discontinued at that time. Despite 50 million pre‑registrations, the game failed to retain players and did not meet revenue expectations. The closure marks the end of Activision’s attempt to bring the Warzone franchise to mobile platforms.
