Call of Duty: Mobile season 5 adds The Boys crossover and new modes

Call of Duty: Mobile Season 5, Revenge, arrived on May 27 at 5 PM PT with more on the menu than a headline crossover. The Boys event brings two themed modes, three character-led Draws, and over a dozen event rewards, but the season also adds Armored Royale, the BAL-27 Assault Rifle, the Tactical Lining Perk, a new Battle Pass, Double COD Points offers, Web Store offers, and a Mythic Kui Ji Operator Draw.

The crossover is built around gameplay hooks rather than a simple skin swap. In multiplayer, The Boys MP: Supe’d Up Attack of the Undead lets the final survivor trigger Supe-specific powers tied to Homelander, Starlight, or Black Noir. Starlight’s ability sends out a shockwave that slows zombies caught in her radius. Black Noir draws a katana and gains extra movement speed with each elimination. Homelander hovers and fires eye lasers while players manage an overheat meter. It is still Attack of the Undead at its core, but the superpowered layer gives the mode a sharper identity than a standard licensed reskin.

Battle royale gets its own treatment in The Boys BR: Vought Royale. Temp V-style abilities are scattered across the map, turning fights into a temporary power chase as players pick up Charge Jump, Laser Vision, Electric Shockwave, and Blink. That keeps the crossover from living only in menus and Draws, and it gives the season a second mode that actually changes how combat flows on the ground.

Armored Royale may be the most meaningful addition for regular players. Each squad spawns with an armored vehicle that doubles as a respawn anchor, making the car itself central to positioning, repairs, and survival. That is the kind of mode change that can alter how squads rotate and take fights, especially for players who care more about match outcomes than cosmetics.

The season’s timing is no accident. The Boys’ fifth and final season premiered on April 8, 2026, and its finale aired on May 20, just a week before the Call of Duty: Mobile update landed. It is the first The Boys crossover in Call of Duty: Mobile and the fourth major collaboration across Call of Duty overall, following tie-ins in July 2023, January 2024, and May 2024. The spectacle is obvious, but Season 5 still gives players enough new systems, weapons, and mode pressure to make logging in feel worthwhile even if the Draws stay unopened.
