In a unique twist of events, Activision is pulling support for its mobile version of the popular Call of Duty live-service title Warzone. The game, which has barely been out for a year, failed to meet "expectations," according to the company.

It's time for Atlus and Sega to move on from the red and blacks of Persona 5.
As Insider Gaming noted in its report, the game, particularly at launch, was a major money-maker for Activision. Before the game even appeared on digital storefronts, it managed to take in 45 million sign-ups. For reference, 1.3 million people were attempting to sign up for Battlefield's community playtest initiative, Battlefield Labs.
