Call of Duty: Mobile roadmap revealed, Battle Royale map to be expanded in June

Activision has unveiled a roadmap for Call of Duty: Mobile over on Reddit. The information was part of a community update. Most of the events mentioned like the Gold Rush event are already live. However, there are a few still to go live. 

Call of Duty: Mobile Multiplayer modes and Seasonal Challenges

The Free For All mode in multiplayer is yet to go live. The event will be held from May 13 to May 19. The event is not new and has been a part of the game before. As the name would suggest, the game mode has no teams and each player is on his/her own. Players will have battle it out to among themselves to reach a particular score limit to win. 

From May 14 onwards, Call of Duty: Mobile will add new Seasonal Challenges. These new challenges will give players the opportunity to win new weapons and items like an SMG and Cordite. However, those who wish to immediately acquire these can spend money and buy them right there. On top of this, Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship Qualifiers will begin every weekend. 

Battle Royale

As far as the Battle Royale Mode is concerned, the Gold Rush event seems to be the only new feature players can look forward to this month. However, the developers note that there are “more substantial changes on the way” and players can expect those in the next major update, which is said to come in June. 

The developers have teased the expansion of the new map to include additional areas to the north of the map. The developers also showed the new areas for a few seconds in a teaser video for the new Gold Rush event. As per that video, the new area will feature locations such as Shipyard, Skitown, Black Market, Hospital and more. 

To recall, Call of Duty: Mobile’s Season 6 update landed earlier this month and introduced a bunch of new features including new weapons, skins and even the addition of the classic multiplayer map, Rust. You can read more about that update here.

WHO planning to release its own app for checking COVID-19 symptoms, may even feature contact tracing

The World Health Organisation (WHO) is reportedly planning to launch an app to enable those in under-resourced countries to assess whether they may have the COVID-19 Coronavirus. According to a report by Reuters, WHO plans to launch the app sometime this month and is also considering a Bluetooth-based contact tracing features as well. 

The report quotes Bernardo Mariano, chief information officer for the WHO, as stating that the new app will ask people about their symptoms and offer guidance on whether they may have COVID-19. Further adding that information about how to get tested will be personalised according to the user’s country.

Reuter’s report also notes that the WHO will release a version of the app on app store globally, and governments will be able to use the apps underlying technology to release their own version after adding more features. It also adds that while some countries like India, Australia and the UK have released their own contact tracing apps,  WHO expects the app to draw interest in plenty of countries, especially those in South Ameria and Africa. Countries in these places may lack the technology and engineers to develop apps on their own. 

The report further adds that engineers and designs have been volunteering to develop the new app and will designing it open-source on GitHub. This will allow the code to be open to public input. Further, the engineers have also talked to Apple and Google about adopting the technology that both companies are working on. The new technology is said to rely on ‘virtual handshakes’ between phones that come within a few feet of each other for over five minutes. Phones will keep an anonymised log of such encounters, allows someone who later tests positive to anonymously send notifications to recent contacts about their possible exposure to the virus. 

Marinaro said that the WHO is not yet committing to such features in their app due to legal and privacy considerations. He also expressed concern that businesses may turn things around and use the system to gather personal data. Both Apple and Google have said that they will not allow any system using their technology to gather GPS location data and the system will stop once the pandemic ends.
