What happened to Warzone Mobile?

“After the smashing success of Activision and Tencent’s bringing of the legendary Call of Duty franchise to smartphones around the world — becoming one of the largest mobile games of all time.
This multibillion dollar company is back with 11 whole studios, half a decade of experience on the platform, one of the most skilled development teams out of the entire world, and almost 3 full years of hard intensive labor, bringing what’s rumored to be the biggest and most advanced mobile shooter of all time — and they are actively struggling to add the most basic of graphic settings which have been standard for every mobile game of the past decade.

Oh yeah, and that same game has allegedly been causing genuine damage to phone processors and battery life through severe device overheating.”

In this video, I cover what exactly happened with Warzone Mobile and its horrendous Global Release: from the success of its predecessor, the early development process, the beta phases, and the global summit, all the way up to the global release and the harsh aftermath.

While yes, this video leaves Warzone Mobile in a pretty negative light, I’d like to state that there genuinely is hope for the game. The devs (or whatever’s left of them) are working extremely hard to patch things up and the game is getting more and more positive reviews on the daily.

Regardless of if it making a grand comeback or continuing to sink into its watery grave, I hope to make a sequel documenting the rest of this game’s journey when the time comes.
