It turns out that the mobile adaptation of Activision Blizzard's popular shooter Call of Duty will be handled by developer King, the name you may recall from Candy Crush Saga, an incredibly addictive mobile puzzler of similar magnitude.
The job ad says King are looking for a level designer to join them in Stockholm on an adaptation of one of most popular game franchises, Call of Duty, which they'll be doing in collaboration with Activision Blizzard. There are also ads for a senior network engineer and a senior tools developer.

Unlike Call of Duty: Heroes though, which is a strategy game developed for mobile, King's Call of Duty will definitely be a shooter. You know, just in case you thought we'll be seeing Crush of Duty on your cellphone.

The dev says level designers will be tasked with creating the sort of work that shows off the best that mobile Call of Duty gameplay has to offer. King are looking for someone with hands on experience on first person shooters, which is perfectly understandable considering the scope of the project.

I didn't even know there was already a Call of Duty mobile game, though this one is actually going to be a shooter.

Theres already plenty of crappy mobile 1st-person shooters.

At least with Heroes they attempted to do something different, albeit unoriginal to the world of mobile games.

Well the mobile game market is pretty oversaturated, because it's just so easy to upload shitty apps to try to make some quick cash. You really have to do something amazing to get attention.

Wait, people still play that crap? hasn't it already gone the way of guitar hero/tony hawk?

also fps mobile games are the most moronic shit ever, what ? do you expect people to have a game controller attached to it like some permavirgin or something? just stick to the actual console, god. MMOs, puzzles, RPGs, RTS, simulators, tower def, card games, yes.

fighting games and FPS? jesus christ
