There’s never a better time for mobile gamers to be a fan of CoD and Activision appears to have been creative with its ad campaigns. Someone recently spotted one such campaign in Japan where the game’s banner was accompanied by Tonikaku Akarui Yasumura, one of the finalists of Britain’s Got Talent.

He was the first Japanese to make it as a finalist in the show, and he did that in his undies. The man sparked roars of laughter during his time in BGT using his signature catchphrase, “Don’t worry, I’m wearing!” He wasn’t able to make it past the semifinals but thanks to the judges who brought him back as a wildcard entry.

In the image shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), his poster can be seen beneath the Warzone Mobile banner. By the looks of it, the Tonikaku is posing as he finally getting something he is eagerly waiting for, much like a hungry Joey when he sees some food. Interestingly, it hilariously captures the emotions of everyone who’ll finally get their hands on the game.

Call of Duty Has Its Own Arena of Mobile Games Now

Some debates took place around whether Warzone Mobile would merge with Call of Duty Mobile upon its release. However, it has now become clear as crystal that it will be a standalone title. Now the question remains if it will manage to pull CoD: Mobile‘s fanbase.

It can be hard to say initially as different factors will come into play here. For starters, the latest title will only be available at the highest settings for players who have mid to high-end devices, CoDM can run on low-end devices too, however players will need to compromise on graphical quality.

Moreover, many players may not want to leave the progress they have made in the game throughout the years. However, they may want to get a better battle royale experience, so Warzone Mobile represents an interesting proposition.
