After the recent dispute between India and China on the border, the Indian government banned TikTok and 58 other Chinese apps. At first, for some reason, PUBG Mobile escaped the list. However, a considerable number of people wanted the government to ban the game because it is also a Chinese app, and that's exactly what happened. Recently, the Indian government banned PUBG Mobile along with 118 other apps.
Now that brings us to Call of Duty Mobile which is a big competitor to PUBG Mobile. Millions of gamers enjoy Call of Duty Mobile, but many of them still ignore the origin of the game. Is Call of Duty Mobile a Chinese application? Questions like these always surface on the Internet. Well, no worries, because we'll clear up your confusion.
Is Call of Duty Mobile a Chinese application?
If you are looking for a quick answer to this question then NO Call of Duty Mobile is not a Chinese app. The game is published by Activision and Garena, companies based in the United States and Singapore. It is true that Call of Duty Mobile is developed by TiMi Studios, a subsidiary of the Chinese conglomerate Tencent Holdings. However, most of the revenue goes to the game publisher, which in this case is not Tencent.
Origin of Call Of Duty Mobile
In March 2019, Activision announced that TiMi Studios would lead the development of the mobile version of Call of Duty Mobile. However, it was Activision that took over the development funding for the entire game.
The game was first smoothly launched in Canada and Australia on July 18, 2019. After the successful reviews of the phased launch, Activision finally released Call of Duty Mobile worldwide on October 1, 2019, and the game attracted millions of players instantly.
Conclusion
Activision Blizzard Pvt. Ltd., an American company, owns the entire Call of Duty franchise. Thus, Call of Duty Mobile also falls under the umbrella of Activision. The US tech company only hired TiMi Studios to lead the game's development. In return, only a small portion of the revenue share goes into the Chinese game studio's pocket. Most of the money still goes to the publisher, which in this case is Activision.
