In solidarity with Black Lives Matter protests and demonstrations across the United States and around the world, Activision announced it woulddelayCall of Duty: Modern WarfareSeason 4last week. The company also delayedCall of Duty: MobileSeason 7, but whenever the “Radioactive Agent” content finally releases, fans can look forward to getting their hands on two new unique skins for the playable operators Ghost and Krueger.
These skins, transforming the characters into “Hazmat” Ghost and “Alchemist” Krueger, notably transform the already face-covering soldiers into ones with protection from the toxic “gas” that will clearly headline Season 7 as a major mechanic inCall of Duty: Mobile. They were revealed by the Southeast Asian game publishing company Garena on Instagram before the delays, so it is still unknown when this new content will be available.

That said, there is more information available online as to what players can expect to see when Season 7 releases. For instance, developer TiMi Studios revealed themobile battle royale map will have seven new locationswith this upcoming season, including a black market, downtown cityscape, and a number of places in frigid northern territories.
The officialCall of Duty: MobileTwitter account has also recently confirmed that theGulag map fromCall of Duty: Warzonewill be coming to the mobile title, which would make sense as an extension to the game alongside a revamped battle royale mode with more sections of the map available. In fact, the idea that Season 7 will focus on radioactive agents and toxic gas also tracks with more mechanics possibly being implemented fromWarzone.
In lieu of dropping this new content for players, Activision and the various companies responsible for developing the concurrentCall of Dutytitles have spent some time addressing ongoing social movements by trying to make positive changes in their games. For example, Infinity Ward has announced it will work on implementing more systems to combat racist and hateful usernames when matchmaking inModern WarfareandWarzone, andBlack Lives Matter messages appear before every gameinModern Warfare.
Even with these delays for good causes, players should be happy to see additions like alternate costumes onceCall of Duty: MobileSeason 7 drops. Ghost in particular is a popular character for the series, as evidenced by afanCoDcosplay uploaded to Reddit this week.
Call of Duty Mobileis available on iOS and Android devices.
