(Pocket-lint) — At long last, the phenomenon that is Call of Duty Warzone is on its way to mobile platforms — Activision has confirmed that it's working on a mobile version of its smash-hit battle royale shooter.
We've been dropping into its console and PC version for more than two years, so we're very intrigued by a mobile version, although details are still pretty thin on the ground right now. Here's what we know, so far.
First up, there's no concrete indication at all of when we can expect Warzone mobile to actually come out — in fact, the only real indicator we do have would suggest that it's still a good way off.
