Call of Duty Mobile players are in for a treat with the new DMZ: Recon mode!

DMZ: Recon is inspired by the popular DMZ mode featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone. If you’ve played DMZ before, you already know how enjoyable it is. Even though COD Warzone Mobile ended on May 18th, you can now play a similar experience within CODM.

The new game mode combines player-versus-player combat, cooperative play against enemies, and the thrill of escaping with valuable items. Players venture onto the Serpent Island map to complete objectives and collect loot, but they must successfully escape to keep what they’ve found. It’s a high-stakes experience because dying means losing everything, leading to fierce competition.

The new trailer looks fantastic, and it seems like Call of Duty Mobile is doing everything right. I’m really excited for the December 12th release – it reminds me of the fun I had playing Warzone with friends during the pandemic, and I can’t wait to experience that same feeling on my phone.
