Job postings on Activision‘s official Careers page shows the publisher is hiring for a new studio, Activision Mobile, that will develop the next AAA Call of Duty mobile game. Needless to say, Activision has been incredibly bullish with the first-person shooter franchise in recent years. Most of the publisher’s internal studios, for instance, serve as either leading Call of Duty teams or remain devoted to the brand in a support-based capacity. That Activision is incubating another in-house production crew whose first outing will revolve around Call of Duty hardly comes as a surprise, then.
The aptly titled Call of Duty: Mobile hit Android and iOS devices during the fall of 2019, giving fans yet another way to experience the incredibly popular shooter. And it’s proven a viable way to play, thanks to developer TiMi Studio’s ongoing support with new seasonal content and updates that sometimes borrow from the likes of COD: Modern Warfare. Considering the sheer amount of money the mobile offering continues to rake in, Activision wanting to further capitalize on the billions of Android and iOS users makes all the sense in the world.
While Activision Blizzard may be shedding internal talent and teams, Activision’s Careers page reveals a brand-new studio is currently hiring. VGC spotted the job listings, which include open positions for QA Manager (Mobile), Producer (Mobile), and Engineer Programmer (Mobile). Several postings, such as the one for the Producer position, mention Activision Mobile as the name of a new firm “dedicated to developing the best AAA mobile games in the world.” Other details about the California-based group remain scarce, but the first project will see Activision Mobile build a “AAA mobile title in the Call of Duty franchise.” As of writing, the publisher has yet to formally announce the newly established studio or the next mobile entry.

Again, Activision doubling down on both mobile and Call of Duty makes sense in terms of business. According to data shared in April, Call of Duty: Mobile developer TiMi Studios earned more money than any other development house in 2020. The Tencent subsidiary reportedly brought in $10 billion in revenue, a feat Activision probably aims to achieve with its own internal team.
COD: Mobile, Warzone, and Black Ops Cold War presently own the conversation, but fans are also eager to learn about this year’s Call of Duty entry. Activision recently confirmed that Sledgehammer Games returned to the driver’s seat for the upcoming installment, which leaks and rumors suggest will see the brand revisit World War II.
Activision’s new Call of Duty mobile title currently lacks release details.
