CoD Mobile Season 4: Wild Dogs Release Date

CoD Mobile Season 4 went live on Wednesday, April 27 at 5PM PT. This marked exactly four weeks since the previous season kicked off.

As soon as 5PM PT rolled around, players around the globe were able to download the latest patch and access all the new CoD Mobile content right away.

CoD Mobile Season 4: Trailer

The first official trailer for CoD Mobile Season 4 premiered on April 17. This brief clip glossed over a war table of sorts, revealing multiple pictures of a familiar location, more on that in the next section below.

“A storm in the horizon and it holds within it a new season of CoD Mobile,” the YouTube description read.

Get ready for more at the end of April!”

CoD Mobile Season 4: New Maps

After appearing in an earlier CoD Mobile test build, Satellite finally made its debut in CoD Mobile Season 4. This Black Ops Cold War map had not only been teased on social media but could also be seen clear as day in the first trailer.

Players are now being dropped into the Namib desert in Angola to fight across this Cold War locale as teams battle through a crash site of, you guessed it, a fallen satellite.

While Season 3 came with just one map in total, Season 4 introduced multiple new additions, as Khandar Hideout from Modern Warfare (2019) was also teased before official confirmation came through.

Khandar Hideout launched during Modern Warfare’s second season and featured a medium-sized layout.

CoD Mobile Season 4: Ground War

Also arriving in CoD Mobile Season 4 was a brand new Ground War mode. For experienced CoD players, you’ll know exactly what to expect here. But for newcomers, Ground War is CoD’s big team battle playlist, with 24 players all fighting across the same map.

12v12 battles have begun on Satellite and Aniyah Incursion in Season 4. These maps are now littered with vehicles like motorcycles, ATVs, and even Tanks to help you cross large distances.

There are six capture points in total and the first squad to reach 300 points will be crowned the winner.

CoD Mobile Season 4: New Weapons

No different from usual, brand new weapons were also locked in for CoD Mobile’s Season 4 update.

The Koshka Sniper from Black Ops 4 was first teased on April 11 with an image of the rifle buried under sand.

The Koshka bolt-action Sniper arrived in CoD Mobile Season 4.

As a bolt-action, you’ll have some devastating firepower at the ready, but you’ll need to time each shot perfectly.

This weapon can be unlocked at Tier 21 of the Season 4 Battle Pass.

CoD Mobile Season 4: Wild Dogs Battle Pass

As expected, CoD Mobile Season 4 features an entirely new Battle Pass filled with the usual assortment of cosmetics, functional items, and CoD Points.

With both free and premium tiers to unlock, there’s plenty up for grabs here regardless of whether you’re looking to invest in the game or not.
