The game’s development is being handled by Tencent’s award-winning Timi studio, who you may recognize as the team behind PUBG’s mobile release. Further, the game is also currently taking pre-registrations, which nets you access to the public beta coming this summer to select regions. Of course, it will also keep you updated on the game’s development.

Interestingly, the game is being made via the Unity real-time 3D engine, which explains why it was revealed at Unity’s conference today.
At the moment, only multiplayer has been confirmed for the game, but Activision notes that more modes will be announced later, suggesting a battle royale mode may also be in the pipeline. The publisher also provides the following pitch of the game:
“In Call of Duty: Mobile, players will experience the fluid, first-person combat of Call of Duty, fighting head-to-head in fan-favorite modes such as Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy and Free-For-All, in iconic maps from the series such as Nuketown, Crash, Hijacked and more.

A release date nor a release window have been provided with the initial announcement, but Activision says to expect more information later this year.
