Call Of Duty Mobile: Zombies Mode To Be Pulled Due To Low Quality

It appears that Call Of Duty: Mobile will lose its divisive Zombies mode later this month, on account of the game’s creators finding it to be lacking in quality. Publisher Activision announced on Reddit last week that they will be removing the undead-filled component from the mobile phone-based spin-off to their ever-popular FPS mega-franchise, as part of their monthly Community Update post.

Zombies mode has been a staple of the Call Of Duty series ever since its first appearance in 2008’s Call Of Duty: World At War, pitting players against numerous period-themed variations of the living dead while controlling such celebrities as former US President John F. Kennedy, David Hasselhoff, and Sarah Michelle Gellar in a variety of fantasy locales. Call Of Duty: Mobile would be no different, adding its own version of the Call of Duty's Zombies mode last November, although players were told from the beginning that it would only be available for a limited time. Worse yet, many felt that its slower enemies and limited selection of Call of Duty maps were not up to par with its console brethren – a sentiment Activision seems to agree with.

Activision made the announcement that Zombies mode will be pulled from the game on March 25th during their end-of-February Community Update post on the r/CallOfDutyMobile subreddit, citing the mode’s poor reception and quality. “We had always mentioned it was limited but with no explicit end-date,” the post explains. “We wanted to see the reception, see the feedback, and see how we can potentially shape the mode for the future. However, the mode just didn’t reach the level of quality that we desire.

As a casualty of removing Zombies, a second map for the mode, dubbed “Nacht Der Untoten,” will also not be released. On a brighter note, the Community Update also lists several new additions to Mobile, including a new Battle Pass named “Disavowed,” a limited-time mission titled “Spring Into Action,” a new multiplayer map called “Cage,” a new “H.I.V.E.” Operator Skill, and a handful of new weapons, all of which are set to arrive to the game on March 1st.

Still, the loss of Zombies mode might be a disappointment to some fans, even if Call Of Duty: Mobile’s rendition was somewhat lacking compared to the larger entries in the series, such as Call Of Duty: WWII's Nazi Zombies mode. For what it’s worth, Activision states that they might bring the mode back someday after they finish fine-tuning Mobile’s Multiplayer and Battle Royale offerings, as the resources freed up from Zombies’ removal will likely be used to polish the rest of the game. In the meantime, players can still access Call Of Duty: Mobile’s Zombies Mode until March 25th, when the legions of the undead will return to their graves until the game’s developers can use them to bring players a better experience.
