Call of Duty: Mobile is bringing Warzone's most famous map to phones. Season 10, the 7th Anniversary update, adds Verdansk to battle royale and starts on November 11 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time, according to the Call of Duty team's announcement as reported by Insider Gaming. For players in India that is early on Thursday, November 12.

Quick summary

Season 10 starts November 11 at 7:00 p.m. ET, which is about 5:30 a.m. IST on November 12 (our conversion, since the US has moved to standard time).
Verdansk is a new battle royale map with more than 15 points of interest.
Parachutes can be opened in-match in Verdansk, replacing wingsuits.
New: shoulder-bashing doors, dragging downed teammates while reviving, and in-game contracts.
Rewards include a Ghost Operator skin and a Legendary assault rifle blueprint.
A Ford Racing collaboration event starts a week after launch.

When does COD Mobile Season 10 start in India?

The announced start is 7:00 p.m. ET on November 11. Eastern Time is currently UTC-5, so that is 00:00 UTC on November 12 and 5:30 a.m. IST. Servers usually go through a short maintenance and download window around launch, so expect the update to appear on the Play Store and App Store close to that time. Check the in-game notice for the exact download size, which has not been published in the sources we reviewed.

What is new in Verdansk on mobile?

The official list of locations includes Superstore, Airport, Storage Town, Dam, Scrapyard, Train Station, TV Station, Promenade, Hospital, Downtown, Park, Port, Prison, Farmland, Stadium, Lumber, Quarry and Military Base. The team says each point of interest has its own detailed features. Verdansk also comes with new third-person animations, which apply to the map and to DMZ.

If you play the existing battle royale mode, our comparison of BGMI and PUBG shows how the other big mobile shooter differs.

What gameplay changes come with Season 10?

Updated movement and airborne controls.
Parachutes can be deployed in-match on Verdansk, replacing wingsuits.
Doors can be shoulder-bashed open if you run through them.
You can drag a downed teammate while reviving them.
Players can take on in-game contracts for rewards.
Refreshed UI and lobby scenes.

The parachute change matters most. Wingsuits made long-range rotations easy in earlier maps, so a controllable parachute should change how squads choose drop spots on a big city map.

What free rewards does Season 10 offer?

A story-based event on Verdansk rewards a Ghost Operator skin and a Legendary assault rifle blueprint. Two new Mythic drops are called Means to an End and Botanist. Insider Gaming also lists a Ford Racing event that begins a week after launch. It is task-based: log in, play matches and get kills in any mode to move through milestones and earn more than 20 rewards, including the Urban Tracker Pit Crew Operator skin, the Rallycar sports-mode vehicle skin and the DRH Command Console weapon blueprint.

Is it a good time to get back into COD Mobile?

For anyone who has drifted away, a new map plus new movement is the usual reason lapsed players return. Whether Verdansk plays well on mid-range hardware is unknown until launch, so wait for performance reports before judging. Meanwhile, India's own battle-royale scene is busy: see our BGMI 4.7 update guide, and check GameDrop deals for free games.
