King will be launching a Call of Duty game, for your phone

Candy Crush developer King was bought by Activision Blizzard in 2016, and it looks like King will be using Activision’s Call of Duty IP to bring the classic franchise to mobile phones and tablets.  According to King’s job portal, the Stockholm team “is adapting one of the most iconic game franchises of all time: Call of Duty, to become a mobile experience.”  As the site reads, “The team will prototype extensively, have the freedom to think outside the box, and be encouraged to stretch their expertise in ways to create surprising results.”  From this, we can glean that King’s Stockholm team has yet to really begin developing the title.
As Gamezone notes, Call of Duty has ventured onto mobile in the past with Call of Duty: Heroes in late 2014.  King is developing the game with the hope that it’ll be a title that players “will want to play for years,” which is an interesting comment from a mobile games developer.  If we hear any news regarding progress on King’s pocketized Call of Duty efforts, we’ll keep you updated.  Until then, be sure to stay to Rectify Gaming for the latest.
