Call of Duty: Mobile Season 10 – 7th Anniversary goes live on Thursday, 12 November 2026, at 11am AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time). The headline act is Verdansk, the sprawling city map that defined the original Call of Duty: Warzone, and it brings back the Gulag and a top-to-bottom rework of how Battle Royale plays on your phone.
If you spent lockdown evenings dropping into Verdansk with your squad, this season is a homecoming with a fresh coat of paint. If you never set foot there, that works in your favour, because the movement and parachute changes arriving alongside it mean veterans will be relearning the basics right next to you.
Verdansk, Now Pocket-Sized
According to the official announcement from Call of Duty: Mobile, Verdansk arrives with more than 15 major points of interest. Familiar names include Superstore, Airport, Dam, Downtown, Prison and Stadium, and anyone who played the original already has strong opinions about which one is the right place to land.
The map goes beyond Battle Royale, too. It’s heading into DMZ: Recon (DMZ stands for demilitarised zone), joined by a new boss called the Chemist and the Prison Highlight Contract. Then there’s the return of the Gulag, the prison showdown that gave Warzone players a shot at clawing their way back after an early death. Getting knocked out first no longer has to mean spectating your friends.
The trailer gives a quick look at what’s coming.
Parachutes Change Everything
Here’s the part that will reshape every match you play, even if you never touch Verdansk. The Battle Royale overhaul covers both big maps, and the biggest swap is that parachutes now deploy mid-match in place of wingsuits. Movement and airborne controls have been updated, and new third-person animations come with them.
The change that should win the most hearts is the ability to drag downed teammates while reviving them. Anyone who has knelt in the open to pick up a friend, only to get sniped from a rooftop, will understand exactly why that one matters. Your squad’s survival odds just got a lot less tied to where your teammate happened to fall over!
The loadout side has been reworked as well. Perks now arrive through loadout drops and Buy Stations, while Scorestreaks have been renamed Field Assets, which can now be equipped to Loadouts and are rarer by design. Fewer of them on the map means each one hits harder, so expect squads to think twice before burning one on a single enemy.
A Birthday Built for Teamwork
The 7th Anniversary events are led by Operation: Verdansk Convergence. It asks players to complete objectives for one of three factions: Makarov, Task Force 141 or the Observers. Milestone rewards include the Ghost – Desert Ghost Operator Skin, which is the pick for anyone who has been waiting for a sand-toned version of the series’ most famous skull mask.
There’s a new limited-time mode called Create Your Truth in the mix as well. Since limited-time modes rotate out, it’s the one to try early in the season rather than leave for later.
Ford fans get their turn a week after season launch, when a task-based Ford Racing collaboration event opens. Progress comes from everyday actions like logging in, playing matches and getting eliminations in any mode. It holds over 20 rewards, including the Urban Tracker – Pit Crew Operator, the Rallycar – Sports Mode vehicle skin and the DRH – Command Console weapon blueprint. For players who’d rather grind than open the Store, this is the most sensible route to Ford gear, since it rewards playing as you normally would.
The Signal 50 Leads the Battle Pass
The new 7th Anniversary Battle Pass leads with the Signal 50, which the announcement describes as a fast-firing sniper rifle suited to Verdansk’s long sightlines. On a map this wide, that pairing makes sense. A quick-shooting long gun suits a map that wide.
The Store has two new Mythic Drops, each delivering a Mythic item. Means to an End leads with the Mythic Alias – Shattered Effigy Operator Skin, while Botanist brings the Mythic Signal 50 – Exobotanica Sniper Rifle Blueprint. Joining them are two Ford Racing Collaboration Draws with the Ford Mustang and Ford Raptor.
If you plan to spend, the order is simple: let the Battle Pass and the Ford task event do the heavy lifting first, then decide whether a draw is worth it once you know which weapons you’re using on Verdansk.
