$7 first- and third-person entry in the shooter series released for iOS devices; set in year 2020; no word on release for Android or Windows devices.

Activision Publishing today released an all-new Call of Duty game for mobile and tablet devices titled Call of Duty: Strike Team. Available on iOS for $7, Strike Team is a first- and third-person game “built from the ground up” for handheld devices.

According to the game’s description, Call of Duty: Strike Team allows players to “fully” customize their squad’s loadouts and abilities before entering into combat in “diverse gameplay environments.”

Call of Duty: Strike Team will also allow players to switch between the traditional first-person perspective and a top-down third-person option that allows players to tactically coordinate actions for their squads.

Regarding the game’s story, Call of Duty: Strike Team is set in the year 2020. “Tensions run high amongst the world’s superpowers,” reads a line from the game’s description. After a surprise attack, the United States becomes embroiled in a war with an “unknown enemy.”

Players must lead a Joint Special Operations team in a “global effort” to track down those responsible for the attack.

Call of Duty: Strike Team features a Campaign mode that takes players around the world, as well as a Survival mode where players can fight off waves of increasingly difficult enemies. Users can compete against friends and track their achievements through leaderboards.

Call of Duty: Strike Team is compatible only with and optimized for iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad mini, iPad 2, iPad (3rd generation), iPad (4th generation), and iPod Touch (5th generation). iPhone 4 and iPod Touch (4th generation) are not supported.

The game also requires iOS 6.0 or newer. No mention was made of a release for Android or Windows devices.

The most recent Call of Duty mobile game was 2011’s Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies. The next entry in the mainline series is Call of Duty: Ghosts, which launches for current- and next-generation consoles in November.
