- The company’s plan is backed by the success of Call of Duty: Mobile.
- Crash Bandicoot and Diablo are expected to receive adjustments for mobile games in 2021.
Activision Blizzard is set to make a passionate foray into mobile gaming in the years to come. As confirmed in a recent investor call (via GameSpot) says the company’s president, Daniel Alegre, that at some point the company will see all of its franchises on mobile.
While the console and PC appear to remain the cornerstone of the company, the company appears to be taking the financial potential of mobile gaming seriously.
“We need to make sure we activate our franchise on the billions of mobile devices that are currently available,” says Alegre. “This is by far our greatest opportunity and we are investing wisely to take advantage of it and move all of our franchises to mobile devices over time. This is really very important to us. “
