Call of Duty Mobile has found success by merging elements from each CoD game into one collection of content, and the latest content teased for the game shows that mentality going a bit further. If recent developer teases can be believed, night mode is on the way for CoD Mobile’s battle royale mode.
This is not the only Call of Duty battle royale with a night mode in development, however, as numerous leaks have appeared online for a night version of the Warzone map. The Warzone night mode would supposedly be pitch black and require the use of the game’s night vision goggles. While the Call of Duty Mobile version will likely be less complex, it could very easily beat Modern Warfare to the punch in its release.
Within a post discussing the newest season of CoD Mobile content, the not-so-subtle night mode tease for battle royale can be found. While the team admits in the post that there is not quite as much content in season 10 as there was in season 9, the long-awaited arrival of the Terminal map is confirmed. While the map finally coming (and getting a 24/7 playlist) is exciting, the real tease lies within the comments of the post.
Reddit user Call_Me_OniiChan has the top comment on the post, thanking the team for the “awesome content” in the game before asking the question numerous CoD Mobile fans have wanted answers to for some time. The user directly asks the team if there are "any plans for night mode MP and BR maps," and they are met with an equally direct response. Rather than a drawn out, detailed reply like the official CoD Mobile account usually provides, the team simply said "yes." Whether that yes is regarding multiplayer maps like Gunfight’s Pine, the battle royale map, or both is unclear.
Night versions of maps are a popular addition within first person shooters, as the darker locales provide a far different feel from the more common well-lit maps. Fans have been especially hungry for official information on the darkened version of the Warzone map, with dedicated fans even recreating what it could look like. The short response affirming the player request for CoD Mobile night maps was all that has been said on the topic thus far, with no details given on when nighttime maps could be coming to the mobile game.
Until nighttime maps come to the game, players can practice mastering CoD Mobile’s Operator Skills. If they do, players will be more than ready when things get a bit darker on the maps of the game.
Call of Duty Mobile is available now on iOS and Android mobile devices.
