The trailer forCall of Duty: WarzoneMobileconfirms some details that have been previouslyteased like 120-player matches, potential cosmetic options, and more. Sharing a similar look to the originalWarzone, the trailer begins with three soldiers dressed inModern Warfaregear jumping from the battle royale plane to plummet down to the map, leaving a red trail of smoke behind them. Getting below the clouds alongside several enemy squads, the three characters approach some Verdansk locations like the infamous Gulag, Gora Dam, and Stadium, returning to the original idea of the battle royale from the lush jungle of the Caldera.
On top of some weapons confirmed in the trailer, three vehicle types are shown off in action as well, such as several ATVs speeding by running soldiers, a few helicopters flying overhead, with one ultimately crashing into the Dam, and a soldier narrowly dodging a cargo truck. Like in the original iteration ofCall of Duty: Warzone, these vehicles will help mobile players traverse the vast landscape of Verdansk to catch up to or avoid the increased number of players which may help some complete their Bounties. Given that Verdansk and the 120-player count were among the leaks forCall of Duty: WarzoneMobile, otherhints dropped by dataminersmay also be proven correct.
While manyCall of Duty: Warzoneplayers have expressed enthusiasm for thereturn of the Verdansk setting, some have speculated that it will be slightly altered compared to previous versions of the battle royale map. Although many comments on theWarzone Mobiletrailer have pointed to various gameplay elements, some fans have responded with glee about the Costa Rican soldier highlighted in the video.
