Recently, Activision announced that they are no longer supporting Warzone Mobile because the number of players has dropped since it was released. While many players are disappointed by the news, others are asking whether Call of Duty: Mobile (COD Mobile) will also be affected. The answer is no.

The shutdown of Warzone Mobile does not affect COD Mobile in any way. In fact, Activision has made it clear that they will keep updating COD Mobile with new content and events. Many players are still playing the game, and it remains one of the most popular shooters for mobile devices.

The main factor behind shutting down Warzone Mobile is that it did not attract many users and had several technical problems. Even though the mobile version was inspired by the popular Warzone on consoles and PC, it failed to match its success.

If you liked playing Warzone Mobile’s battle royale, COD Mobile has an equally exciting mode with regular updates and changes.
