Although Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty game franchise may have become immensely popular among the gaming community, it is no news that the mobile version of the game has not been well-received by the fans.
The developer of the mobile version, TiMi Studio Group, as well as publisher Activision, are constantly trying to improve the title. However, they recently announced that two major maps from the game would be removed. Nonetheless, they promised that Call of Duty: Mobile isn’t going anywhere yet.
Shoot House and Alcatraz to leave Call of Duty: Mobile
Recently, Call of Duty: Mobile on its official X handle addressed the doubts of the players. Through the post, they confirmed that two maps, namely, Shoot House and Alcatraz will be removed from the game. However, they also assured that both fan-favorite locations will be back “later this year.”
Call of Duty®: Mobile will continue to get new content every season and there are no plans to change the breadth of content we bring to COD:M players. Stay tuned for more info on exciting new content we have coming this year!

With Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile scheduled to launch later this month, the fans had their fair share of doubts regarding the game’s status. There were suspicions that the spinoff could possibly soon stop receiving new content because of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile.
The post read,
“We wanted to let you know that Shoot House and Alcatraz will soon be leaving Call of Duty: Mobile. This is not permanent, both will be returning later this year, rotating in and out each season like other playlists in the game.”
Later, they posted another follow-up post, assuring players that they were still working on fresh content for the game. The new content will probably arrive in future seasons. Although they did not reveal much information about what can be expected, they urged fans to “stay tuned.”
Why fans are worried about Call of Duty: Mobile
Fans have always felt that Call of Duty: Mobile has been missing something. To top it off, the launch of Warzone Mobile has further worried the fans about the future of the game. CoD: Mobile features more traditional multiplayer options.
These could possibly be shuttered when Warzone Mobile comes to iOS and Android devices. The upcoming mobile game will enable players to participate in mobile versions of iconic maps of the battle royale game such as Verdansk and Rebirth Island.
Interestingly, Rebirth Island is actually a reimagining of the Alcatraz map. Additionally, it must also be noted that Shoot House will also be seen in Warzone Mobile. Since both these maps are coming to the new mobile game, the fans were naturally worried about the old game, and the rumor mill began.
Although Warzone Mobile is expected to have a lot of similarities to Call of Duty: Mobile, the developers have confirmed that the old title is not going anywhere. Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is set to launch on iOS and Android devices globally on March 21, 2024.
