Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile fans got a surprise on March 21st as the highly anticipated game launched on Android and iOS devices. While the official release was slated for 9:00 AM PT, eager players could download and jump into the action much earlier.

This unexpected early access caused a frenzy among fans who had pre-registered for the game. Social media platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter) buzzed with reports of players battling it out in Verdansk and Rebirth Island, the two iconic maps from the PC and console versions.

The official Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile account on X confirmed the early launch, acknowledging the surge of players and admitting to temporary server downtime due to the overwhelming response. This downtime, however, was short-lived, and players were soon able to experience the familiar fast-paced battle royale gameplay on their mobile devices.

The early launch allowed players to explore the core Warzone Mobile experience. The game boasts impressive graphics that stay true to its PC and console counterparts. Players can engage in 120-player battle royales, utilizing a variety of weapons, vehicles, and the strategic use of the environment to emerge victorious.

While the core gameplay was available early, fans had to wait longer for the “Operation Day Zero” campaign. This first official in-game event, scheduled for launch on March 22nd, will offer players a chance to delve deeper into the Warzone Mobile story and potentially unlock exclusive rewards.

The early launch of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile highlights the title’s immense anticipation. With over 50 million pre-registrations, the game has already established itself as a significant player in the mobile gaming market. The ability to play on the go with friends, offering the same strategic depth and thrilling action as the PC and console versions, is a clear winner for Call of Duty fans.
