Warzone Mobile

The long wait will soon be over for Call of Duty fans. Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will be available worldwide on March 21 for iOS and Android users.

There are over 50 million pre-registrations to the game so far, and players can still sign up for free at callofduty.com/warzonemobile.

They may unlock the following redeemable rewards upon worldwide launch:

  • Ghost “Condemned” Operator Skin
  • M4 “Archfiend” and X12 “Prince of Hell” Weapon Blueprints
  • “Foe’s Flame” Vinyl
  • “Dark Familiar” Emblem

Last man (or squad) standing

The first-person shooter has two primary game modes: Battle Royale and Resurgence. Battle Royale (Verdansk) supports up to 120 players, a little less than the original Warzone standard of 150. Resurgence (Rebirth Island), meanwhile, hosts up to 48 players.

Both game modes will support multiplayer (solo, duo, trio, quad) lobby types to enable players to team up with their friends. Players may also deploy across classic modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed and Search & Destroy.

When eliminated, players get a second chance in the Verdansk Gulag. Win against a fellow eliminated Operator, and you’ll be redeployed to the match.

Customize your controls

Access control and accessibility options have been designed to make the game more customized for the mobile experience. Players may also utilize controller support to find the perfect settings for their battles.

For example, users may adjust the jump button to the left or enlarge the virtual joystick by a few millimeters. They may personalize just about every element in the controls interface, like graphics options and more.

Take your friends with you

In-match social features will also be available on Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. Players may listen to nearby enemy comms using Proximity Chat.

A shared friends list, chat channels, and more across platforms will let players stay connected with their squads more easily.

Level up across console, PC

As confirmed, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is also getting shared progression. Players can level up weapons, XP, and more with console and PC versions of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone.

To transfer content and make them continuously available between games, simply log in with your Activision ID. Shared features across platforms include Player Level, Weapon Level, and Battle Pass Progression.

First gameplay details revealed

NBA 2K27 gameplay

NBA 2K27 is giving fans their first look at this year’s gameplay.

2K has released the official gameplay trailer for NBA 2K27, showcasing enhanced visuals and several gameplay updates ahead of the game’s September 4 launch. The trailer also features cover athletes Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark, and Derrick Rose while teasing changes across Gameplay, MyCAREER, MyTEAM, MyNBA, and the MyPLAYER Builder.

The publisher also confirmed the Preseason Breakdown: NBA 2K27 Game Reveal, which streams on August 18 at 10:00 AM PT. During the presentation, 2K will reveal this year’s biggest gameplay innovations and mode updates before Early Access begins on August 28 for Deluxe Edition and Ultra Edition owners.

Smarter AI and a new Dunk Meter headline gameplay changes

NBA 2K27 introduces several gameplay refinements based on community feedback.

AI defenders now contest shots more effectively and hold their defensive positioning better, especially in online modes like The REC. The changes aim to create a more balanced experience on both ends of the floor.

The game also introduces a fully dynamic Dunk Meter. Instead of locking in the timing at takeoff, the meter continuously evaluates defensive positioning throughout the dunk attempt. Open driving lanes create a larger green window, while late defensive rotations shrink it, making each dunk attempt feel more responsive to the action on the court.

MyPLAYER Builder expands with more Badges

The MyPLAYER Builder now features 53 total Badges, up from 40 in last year’s game. Players can also experiment with 19 brand-new Badges designed to support more specialized builds.

Cap Breakers are also making a return. This time, players can preview attribute boosts directly inside the Builder before finalizing their character.

MyTEAM and MyNBA receive community-requested updates

MyTEAM introduces the franchise’s first unified Auction House across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The shared marketplace creates the largest pool of community-listed cards in the mode’s history. It should also make card prices more consistent across supported platforms.

Winning an auction is now faster, too. Purchased cards go straight into your collection without a verification delay.

MyNBA also receives several franchise management updates that reflect today’s NBA. These include second apron salary cap rules from the league’s latest collective bargaining agreement and the ability to offer No-Trade Clauses to free agents.

Rucker Park comes to MyCAREER

The City returns with the same centralized layout introduced last year. This time, however, it gets a new nighttime look filled with neon lights.

NBA 2K27 also recreates the legendary Rucker Park. The iconic streetball court serves as the setting for this year’s MyCAREER prelude story, Fire & Concrete, and also appears in the Street Kings mode.

NBA 2K27 launches on September 4 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2. Players who purchase the Deluxe Edition or Ultra Edition can jump in early starting August 28 through Early Access.
