While "Call of Duty" has no shortage of fans, the move to mobile will welcome an even larger audience. Tencent, China's largest video game publisher and a major Activision stakeholder, specializes in mobile releases and will help bring "Call of Duty: Mobile" to North America, South America, Europe and other regions in the future.
Developed by Tencent's Timi studio, "Call of Duty: Mobile" will primarily compete with "Fortnite" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" (aka "PUBG Mobile"), two battle-royale shooters with free-to-play mobile versions.
