For players of Call of Duty Mobile, the next few days are particularly exciting, as important features have been announced. The eagerly anticipated Zombie mode will be arriving soon. There are also updates on controller support.
What has been announced? The mobile version of Call of Duty will be regularly updated even after the release in October to improve the gaming experience. This is great news for fans, as one of the upcoming updates will bring a long-awaited game mode.
In one of the latest community posts on Reddit, the team talks about the Zombie mode, which fans of the brand have known and loved for a long time. However, they are not willing to reveal many details. It is said that players asked about zombies every day in the past month. The strong desire for a Zombie mode is definitely present.
Regarding the release, the developers say that you’ll have it in your hands soon. However, they did not disclose a specific date. “You’ll have it in your hands before you know it”. It sounds like you won’t have to wait long. The game is well received in the community; just in the first week after release, CoD Mobile was downloaded over 100 million times.
How to find out more about the release? In a letter to the community, the team explains that players should keep an eye on the game’s social channels. There, “screenshots, videos, and more” will be published.
What do the players say? In the comments on Reddit, the news about the Zombie mode is well received. Players write:
- “I am really looking forward to the zombies!!! :D”
- “Well, this news has turned my disappointment about zombies into hope and joy”
- “ZOMBIES! Thanks to the developers for bringing this up. I love you guys. Keep it up! I can’t wait to see it and hopefully play it soon.”
Why is the Zombie mode important? The Zombie game mode provided a lot of variety compared to the traditional modes in the past. Here, you and your friends must fend off increasing waves of zombie attackers in co-op. The mode is popular because it offers an experience in groups of friends and differs significantly from the typical multiplayer modes.
The 2nd Wish – Controller Support
What about controller support? Another important topic for players is the support for controllers.
This feature is always asked for. Even regarding the news about zombies, users on Twitter are inquiring about it:
In the community post, the team explains that this support will be activated soon. It won’t be long until you can finally play the mobile game with a controller in hand.
The mobile hit is also sought after by its competition. An expert played at the wrong time in the wrong place:
“Just a small note, but we plan to release the controller support soon. We are finalizing the details of how it will work in the game, particularly regarding matchmaking. […]”
What does this mean? This feature seems to be just before release. The note about matchmaking suggests that players will be sorted in the game between those using a controller and those who are not. That would be a fair solution, allowing players to choose whether they want to play against controller users or not.
The Vice President of Call of Duty Mobile has already compared this issue to first-person and third-person views. There are separate lobbies for each type of player. “We can implement a similar solution for players using controllers if necessary,” said the status on controller support in CoD Mobile in October.
Why is controller support a wish? Some players want a similar Call of Duty experience on mobile devices that they already know from consoles. So, those who previously played the shooter on Xbox or PlayStation are accustomed to the game with a gamepad in hand. It is significantly less common to control it directly on a mobile device.
