As Call of Duty: Mobile has inched ever closer to Season 11, CoD Mobile players have been desperate for teasers and confirmed details about what’s coming next.

The developers had planned to keep most things a secret, after deciding against running a test server, but plenty of details snuck out. In fact, pretty much everything was revealed after Garena, who publish the game in Southeast Asia, released details from the patch on their Facebook page.

While that slip contained a part of the patch notes, the devs have now confirmed everything that is coming in Season 11. So, let’s take a look.

New Maps – King & Halloween Standoff

The two new maps for this season – King and Halloween Standoff – had already been revealed by the devs themselves. 

King, a Gunfight map from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, was a part of the new season roadmap that appeared in CoD Mobile on October 10. In CoD Mobile, it will be available in Gunfight and Duel.

The Standoff variant, however, was teased on Twitter, but it didn’t take fans that long to figure out that the classic Black Ops 2 map would be returning in its spooky form.

New Weapon & scorestreak – Fennec & Advanced UAV

Prior to the start of the new season, the devs teased ‘multiple’ new weapons. The biggest of which is a new base SMG in the form of the Fennec. This is actually just the Vector but with a different name. 

On top of that, the devs also teased a new scorestreak after one fan asked for a Blackbird-like UAV. That is coming in the form of the Advanced UAV in Season 11.

New Mode – Cranked

As for a new game mode, Cranked – which was first seen back in Call of Duty: Ghosts – is joining the rotation in CoD Mobile.

The mode has a simple premise, once you get a kill, you’ve got to keep going or you’ll be blown up. There are bonus points on effort for getting kills while ‘cranked’ so you can quickly level up. 

It won’t be available on every map, however. It will just be available on Crash, Standoff, Crossfire, Cage, Rust, and Shipment.
