Call of Duty: Strike Team represents the first Call of Duty mobile title from Activision’s new mobile development studio, The Blast Furnace™, led by veteran developers Mark Washbrook, from Rockstar London, and Rockstar Leeds legend Gordon Hall.
“Call of Duty: Strike Team is all about giving a single player experience that is unlike anything else in the Call of Duty world in a way that matches the interests of players on-the-go,” said Mark Washbrook, Studio Head of The Blast Furnace. “By giving fans the option to play in either first-person or third-person views, and to switch between them on the fly, we’ve really opened the doors for gamers to have a fun and entertaining gameplay experience with Call of Duty: Strike Team, because they can play the game the way they want.”
