The Call of Duty: Mobile experience continues to evolve as Season 8 adopts a new post-apocalyptic theme with brand new modes, maps, characters, and plenty more up for grabs.

The handheld shooter started with a bang in October 2019 and since has grown into one of the most popular CoD releases in recent years. It combines content from a wide array of titles and the Season 8 update looks to add even more to the mix.

From limited-time events, to map releases, fresh modes, and a whole Battle Pass full of unlocks, a July 9 Community Update outlined what’s in store for the new season. There’s a ton of content available today as The Forge update is now live. However, there’s also plenty for fans to look forward to throughout the season.

While certain elements were already teased before release, there are plenty of surprises in the content drop. Let’s take a deep dive into the big announcement and unpack all of the biggest features in CoD: Mobile Season 8.

CoD Mobile’s all-new Juggernaut Mode

Call of Duty: Mobile Juggernaut gameplay

Juggernaut’s will be tough to handle alone. Team up with everyone else in the lobby to takeover the fight.

Another classic Call of Duty mode has made its return in Season 8 as Juggernaut now has its own playlist. The popular mode drops players into a free for all lobby with a huge twist.

One competitor will be the Juggernaut, a hulking figure with a huge health pool and a Death Machine minigun. Killing this overpowered foe will turn you into the Juggernaut next and the cycle repeats.

It’s a six-player mode so five players will have to form temporary alliances to take out the bigger threat. No Loadouts or Operator Skills will be allowed, though Armament Boxes can be found across the map.

They contain extremely powerful weapons to help you fight the Juggernaut. The first player to reach 20 points will be crowned the winner.

Highrise makes a return in CoD Mobile Season 8

Modern Warfare 2’s iconic map is finally back in a Call of Duty game for the first time since its original release in 2009. Veteran players will feel right at home on the old stomping grounds as the layout is completely unchanged.

Teams will spawn in offices at either side of the map and lower-level flanking routes are just as prevalent as before. It also looks as though you’ll be able to reach the cranes for some montage-worthy snipes as well.

The returning map will be playable in an assortment of playlists including the aforementioned Juggernaut mode.

CoD Mobile Season 8 Events

Season 8 will be turning up the heat with a Summer-themed event.

As with every season in CoD Mobile, new events are on the way.

Call of Duty: Mobile Season 8 The Forge Roadmap
