A whole goodie bag of details also dropped over on the Call of Duty blog, which we can share with you below:
Confirmed: Level Up Across Console, PC
Level up your weapons and XP no matter where you are. Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile supports shared progression with the console and PC versions of Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare III. Simply log in using your Activision ID, and most content acquired in Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone is seamlessly transferred and becomes continuously available between your games.
Shared features across platforms include:
- Player Level: Player XP earned on Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile transfers seamlessly over to Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare III and vice versa, so that your Player Level (and Prestige) remains the same regardless of platform.
- Weapon Level: Leveling up weapons to earn new Camos and Attachments is a core part of the Call of Duty experience. With shared weapon level progression, you can keep grinding away at Weapon XP both at home and on the go.
- Battle Pass Progression: Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile offers shared Battle Pass progress with Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone on both console and PC. This allows you to maximize your playtime to move through the tiers in more ways, and with more efficiency than ever before. Access your unlocked Battle Pass rewards across platforms, including Operator Skins, Weapon Blueprints, Calling Cards, Emblems, Weapon Charms, and more.
- Content from the BlackCell Battle Pass offering will also be accessible within Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile.
- Store Bundles: The Bundles you purchase and own already on Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare III, aside from a small number of exclusive Bundles, will be available for use in Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile and vice versa. Look for the ‘Connected’ tag on Bundles in the Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile in-game Store to confirm cross-inventory compatibility with Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone.
Battle Royale: Be the Last Squad Standing
Drop into the classic big map Battle Royale experience with Verdansk or opt for chaos on a slightly smaller scale courtesy of Rebirth Island.
- Verdansk (Battle Royale, 120 players): Since the destruction of Verdansk, the debut map for Call of Duty: Warzone, players have been eager to get back to the city where it all started.
- Map Features: This metropolis features a multitude of areas to explore and scour for loot, and with match support for up to 120 players, the battles are bound to be both furious and frequent. Will you drop in hot to a high-traffic point of interest like Superstore, gunning for an early advantage, or take a stealthier approach, playing at the edges of the circle collapse?
- The Gulag Returns: Get wiped? No problem. Fight for a second chance in the original Verdansk Gulag, where eliminated Operators battle for the privilege of redeploying to the match. Win and return to the fight.
- Rebirth Island (Resurgence, 48 players): Rebirth Island changed the Battle Royale experience when first released, offering a smaller map size catering to non-stop action. Battle within the central prison complex or traverse along the outer edges of the island, moving from building to building or taking your chances with longshots out in the open.
Multiplayer: Fine-tune Your Tactics
Low on time and looking to get straight into the action? Eager to level up a new weapon? Wanting a quick warm up before dropping into a big map? Though Battle Royale is the main focus of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, Multiplayer support lets players experience classic Call of Duty action across several Multiplayer maps and modes, including — but not limited to — Shipment, Shoot House, and Scrapyard. Deploy across a suite of classic modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed and Search & Destroy, including Hardcore variants.
