Call of Duty: Mobile’s Zombies mode will be cut from the game this month.
Explaining the move,Activisionsaid the mode hasn’t reached its desired quality level followingits introduction in November, when it was announced as a limited time experience.
“After extensive evaluation we are sharing that Zombies Mode is being removed on March 25th,”it said. “We had always mentioned it was limited but with no explicit end-date.
“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. The second map, Nacht Der Untoten, is also not releasing in the global version,” it added.
“We may bring the mode back, with Nacht Der Untoten, once we can make sure it is high enough quality, but for now we’ll focus on development for Multiplayer, Battle Royale, and Ranked Mode.”
In a follow-up comment on the mode’s removal, Activisionelaborated: “We decided to remove it after not only analyzing in-game data on it for months but also community feedback.
“Despite the support here on Reddit, it is not symbolic of the larger playerbase. Like we said, and many players have said here, it is not currently high enough quality and we’d prefer to focus more on MP & BR.”
Confirmation of plans to axe Zombies mode arrived as part of a wider community update announcing the launch of a new season of content forCall of Duty: Mobile, titled Disavowed.
