Alcatraz Removed from Map Rotation in Call of Duty Warzone Mobile

Two popular Call of Duty: Mobile maps, Shoot House, and Alcatraz are leaving the game ahead of Warzone Mobile's full release. The former map is a multiplayer one, while Alcatraz is popular for Warzone Mobile. However, they both will be bidding farewell to the game ahead of the full launch. That said, developers have also said that the maps will return later this year, as they rotate in and out each season. 

Warzone Mobile is a highly anticipated mobile title that is ready to release on March 21, 2024. Gamers are excited to see what new things Activision brings with the official release, alongside new maps and game modes.

Call of Duty Warzone Mobile Removed Alcatraz Ahead of Full Release

The global launch of Warzone Mobile is just around the corner, with fans excited to witness the full-fledged gameplay of the battle royale on mobile devices. With that, Activision has recently announced that it will be removing one of the fan-favorite maps from the game right before its launch. According to the post, Activision states that Alcatraz will leave Warzone Mobile temporarily, and will be added again in another season to keep the rotation fresh. 

The post also says that the maps will be available again on launch. Gamers can enjoy both the multiplayer map (Shoot House) and Warzone map (Alcatraz) on the title's release on March 21. Call of Duty: Mobile's official X handle attached another tweet with the post, clarifying that the gamers are not missing out on any new content. They added that COD Mobile will continue to get new content every season in the future and that there are no plans to change the 'breadth of content' devs are bringing to the mobile version of Call of Duty, including Warzone Mobile. 

The post says:

"Call of Duty®: Mobile will continue to get new content every season, and there are no plans to change the breadth of content we bring to COD:M players."

Why The Removal of Two Maps is a Big Deal for Gamers?

Call of Duty Mobile has been one of the most played games on smartphones as of its beta release. Gamers have appreciated the fluid gameplay mechanics and frequent content updates. Moreover, both Alcatraz and Shoot House became popular choices for gamers. Activision has also promised a newer map for Warzone Mobile after its global release. Until then, one must wait for more official news from the developers.
