Activision Blizzard has insisted it remains "committed" to Call of Duty: Mobile after Microsoft recently told UK regulators the game could be "phased out" over time with the full launch of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile this year.
Microsoft made the claims in its latest response to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority, which is currently investigating the company's proposed $69BN USD acquisition of Activision Blizzard. In a paragraph on divestment, Microsoft noted, "Call of Duty: Mobile is expected to be phased out over time (outside of China) with the launch of Warzone Mobile."
Call of Duty: Mobile - a free-to-play spin on the juggernaut franchise, developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio - launched in 2019 and has been a massive success for Activision, generating $3BN in its first year alone.
