Activision recently announced that Call of Duty fans will be getting a spin-off Warzone Mobile expansion game. Warzone is a battle royale iteration of the franchise and it will be officially available on March 21st. Fans are to expect two battle royale maps that will be available at the outset. This includes the original Warzone local Verdansk and the addition of Rebirth Island.
The Verdansk map can host up to 120 players across both iOS an Android platforms -- once eliminated, players are given the option to rejoin the game as a fray if they win in the gulag. The Rebirth Island map is smaller and can host up to 48 players. Rather than going to the gulag after dying in the game, players come back to life if any teammate is still in the game.
