Call of Duty: Mobile is so profitable for Activision that they've decided to just go ahead and make another one. That's according to recent job listings, which also reveal the existence of a brand new mobile-focused studio in Santa Monica, California.
It's called Activision Mobile--an unimaginatively named studio that's "dedicated to developing the best AAA mobile games in the world." Several new job ads show that the studio is hiring for pretty much every role imaginable, indicating that this new project is set to rapidly proceed once all positions are filled.
Many of the ads have the same opening paragraph revealing “a new AAA mobile title in the Call of Duty franchise.” No further details were given, but the volume of ads certainly implies that it’ll at least have the same support as Call of Duty: Mobile, and perhaps even more so.
Call of Duty: Mobile has been a massive success for Activision. The game brought in $10 billion to the studio in 2020 alone, and along with Call of Duty: Warzone, tripled the number of players in the Call of Duty franchise.
And of course, China is the big focus for this new mobile push. Call of Duty: Mobile was ludicrously successful in the Chinese mainland, bringing in as many new players as the rest of the world combined.
If we’re to get any info on this new game, it’ll come during Activision’s press conference at E3 next week
