American video game publisher Activision today announced the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2020 tournament. The tournament is a lengthy esport game that promises more than $1 million in total prizes, which include both cash and in-game cosmetics.
For the schedule of the tournament, there will be online qualifiers that kick off on April 30th and runs through May 24th, after which the tournament will begin.
For now, there is just a little information on the structure of the tournament, how prizes will work, and where fans can watch. However, you can find out how to qualify here.
Call of Duty: Mobile has quickly grown to become one of the biggest games in the world. The free-to-play, mobile Call of Duty spinoff became a breakout hit last year, racking up a staggering 100 million downloads in its first week of availability. And while mobile titles are far from a major force in esports, other big games have made similar forays into the field, including PUBG Mobile and Supercell titles like Clash Royale and Brawl Stars.
Interestingly, despite the ongoing pandemic esports continues to flourish with the Call of Duty League recently restarting as an online competition and other major esports finding ways to operate while staff and players are stuck working from home
