DICE is working in partnership with fellow game developer Industrial Toys to produce Battlefield Mobile, which will be specially designed for mobile devices as opposed to a full or partial port from PC or console. Like the preceding Battlefield games, Battlefield Mobile will be a live-action, skill-based shooter. The newly announced IP is likely designed to compete with other major video game franchises like [Fortnite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortnite-ballistic), Call of Duty, Apex Legends, and PlayerUknown's Battlegrounds, all of which are currently producing or have produced mobile games. Mobile games like Battlefield Mobile are catalyzed by rapid technological advances in the mobile industry and are targeted towards gamers on the go.
