Call of Duty comes to mobile in China
Tencent nabs another huge shooter to go with PUBG Mobile
It used to be the king of shooters. Now Call of Duty is playing catch-up.
The game is set to be unveiled “soon”, with a release planned for the coming months.

It’s not the first time Call of Duty has tried to crack China.
Call of Duty Online, a free-to-play online shooter for PCs also made by Tencent, went live in 2015.
It’s not the first Call of Duty game for mobile either: On the iOS App Store you can download Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies or Call of Duty: Heroes right now.
But this looks like it’ll be something much more significant.
Heroes is a strategy game, and not a shooter -- the genre the series is known for. Zombies on iOS is six years old. And neither game was targeted towards China, the world's biggest gaming market.
Of course, Tencent has experience here: They ported PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to mobile, bringing the battle royale hit to the masses around the world.
