Call of Duty fans, brace yourselves! Activision has officially shut down Warzone Mobile, and now all eyes are on the rumored launch of Blackout 2, a spiritual successor to the beloved battle royale from Black Ops 4. Here’s everything you need to know about Warzone’s closure and Blackout 2’s expected arrival on Next-Gen Consoles.
Warzone Mobile Shut Down – Here’s Why
Activision ended support for Warzone Mobile in May 2025, due to:
- Lower-than-expected user engagement
- Negative feedback from mobile gamers
- Limited gameplay compared to console versions
Players who already have the game installed can still access it, but no future updates or purchases will be available.

Blackout was the first-ever Battle Royale mode introduced by Call of Duty in Black Ops 4 (2018). While Warzone took over the spotlight, many fans missed the classic survival style and loot-based gameplay.
Now, in 2025, rumors are strong that Activision is bringing Blackout 2 as a new, evolved BR experience for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
