Call of Duty Mobile is stepping into the ring this October with Season 9: Midnight Rumble, a WWE crossover event that introduces wrestling superstars, a new Limited Time Mode (LTM), and returning fan-favorite maps and modes. The update goes live on October 1 at 5 PM PT (8 PM ET).
WWE-Themed Limited Time Mode
The highlight of Season 9 is a WWE-inspired LTM. Players begin each match equipped with the Prizefighter boxing gloves. After achieving a hot streak, they can transform into a WWE operator, gaining access to:
- Directional finishing moves
- Enhanced abilities, including increased health
This transformation adds a unique layer of strategy, rewarding momentum-driven gameplay with powerful advantages.
Progression, Rewards, and Store Content
Season 9 introduces WWE-themed events that award Entry Tickets, which can be exchanged for SmackDown points through mini-games. These points unlock exclusive rewards, including:
- CR-56 AMAX – Furious Finisher weapon blueprint
- Minotaur – Fractured Fiend operator skin
In addition, Alexa Bliss and The Undertaker will be featured in special draws available through the in-game store, bringing WWE’s biggest names directly into Call of Duty Mobile.
Returning Maps and Modes
TiMi Studio Group is also rotating back popular content, ensuring variety throughout the season. Players can expect the return of:
- Haunted Hacienda
- Isolated
- Attack of the Undead
- Hordepoint
These fan-favorite maps and modes add extra depth to the seasonal lineup.
Strategic Context
This WWE collaboration is part of a broader push by Activision and TiMi Studio Group to keep Call of Duty Mobile at the center of the franchise’s mobile presence. It follows a series of 2025 collaborations, including NieR: Automata in May, Gundam-inspired content in June, and Ronald Acuña Jr. in July. With limited signs of other major Call of Duty mobile projects, Midnight Rumble underscores the game’s importance as the franchise’s flagship smartphone experience.
