Prior toCall of Duty Mobile’s launch, the game’s beta was updated with instructions on how to use controllers. However, Activision either pulledCall of Duty Mobilecontroller supportor didn’t add it to the game at all (reports vary on the subject), but that doesn’t mean there’s no hope for the feature.
In a recentCall of Duty Mobilecommunity update, the developers acknowledged that many fans want controller support for the game. “We hear you loud and clear that you want to know about controller support,” the post said. “We are currently testing controller support and looking at the possibility of offering this feature sometime in the future, but we’d have to ensure it is properly implemented and balanced. Just hang tight.”

It seems the main thing that’s keepingCall of Duty Mobilefrom having controller support is concern over the game’s balance. A controller would arguably give players an advantage because as we pointed out in ourCall of Duty Mobilereview, doing things like throwing grenades can be a bit cumbersome with the touchscreen controls. Then again, those on a touchscreen may have an advantage when it comes to aiming when compared to a controller, so perhaps it would balance itself out.
While noCall of Duty Mobilecontroller support has been announced, those who want the feature should rest assured knowing that the development team is looking into it. In the meantime, theCall of Duty Mobilecommunity update also included some teases as to what fans can expect from the game in the future.
TheCall of Duty Mobilecommunity update post highlighted some ongoing events, like thelimited-time Free-for-All modeand the double XP weekend, but it has also teased the return of a “classic” this coming Monday, October 14. It’s unclear exactly what the developers are referring to, but perhaps it’s a new map forCall of Duty Mobileor even a new game mode. There are a number of popularCall of Dutygame modes that have yet to be added toCall of Duty Mobile, like Gun Game and Kill Confirmed, so there’s plenty to choose from.
It may even be theCall of Duty MobileZombies modethat is teased on the front screen. Whatever the case may be,Call of Duty Mobilefans will find out on October 14.
Call of Duty Mobileis out now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
