Play Store and Apple App Store any longer. So, yeah, it's over. And judging by how hyped up the game was by Activision and its partners, it can only be considered a tremendous letdown for the publisher.

It seems like CoD's efforts to capture the global mobile audience of billions of players fell flat with those who game on the go. And the fact that its main selling point, besides its platform, the Verdansk map, has now returned to the base Warzone game definitely didn't help in that regard.

At first, the allure of being able to play CoD and level up the battle pass on my phone seemed cool. But then I remembered, hey, I hate playing shooters with mobile controls, and haven't touched it after about a week since launch. I'm sure I'm not alone in this assessment.

I'm also curious to see what this means for the separate Call of Duty Mobile's future, and CoD's future in mobile in general. Regardless, CoD will continue on with BO6's next few seasons, Warzone updates, and eventually a new game in the franchise this fall.

The game will remain playable for the time being in its current state so long as it's downloaded before May 19, and that includes cross-progression of "existing content."
