Call of Duty: Mobile fans, listen up: the 2026 Season 4 update, Eternal Prison, is not here to play nice. It is here to throw players onto Rebirth Island, hand them a pan-mag LMG, and whisper, Good luck, have fun. The season launched on April 22 at 5 PM PT, and if the phrase high risk, high reward makes a player's palms sweaty, this is their Super Bowl. 🎮💥
Rebirth Island Checks Into DMZ: Recon — Bring a Helmet
Rebirth Island is no spring chicken, but Season 4 gives it a glow-up that would make a reality TV makeover show jealous. Improved lighting, updated points of interest, and sharper environmental objects make the island feel less like Alcatraz's dusty cousin and more like a proper death trap. The walled area outside the Prison is now a high-danger zone, because apparently players did not have enough reasons to sweat through their tactical gloves.
In DMZ: Recon, the prison gates do not open just because someone asks nicely. Players must activate a switch, which starts a 30-second countdown. When it hits zero, every gate opens for 10 seconds, a global alarm screams across the island, and chaos clocks in for its shift. After the gates shut, a cooldown begins. The message is simple: get inside when the opening is clear, or get clapped in front of everyone.
Extraction has also received a spicy new recipe. Players seek out dual computer terminals, activate both, and start the sequence. The first extraction in a match triggers a boss fight, while later calls bring a standard helicopter. That first boss is Nikto, who is waiting on the prison rooftop with a Riot Shield and a bad attitude. He also brings aerial backup, because one terrifying man with a shield was clearly not enough. Reports also mention a submarine circling the shoreline; if it spots an Operator, it may launch a missile. Check the minimap, clear the blast zone, and try not to become a cautionary tale.
Loot lovers can chase periodic-table-themed high-value items, including rare Ultimate-tier elements that promise payouts big enough to make a Scrooge McDuck dive look reasonable. A new crafting system lets players combine rare materials to craft gear and powerful weapons for future DMZ: Recon matches. Partway through the match, a nuclear explosion erupts offshore, sending radioactive fog crawling from the shore toward the center prison. Extraction points close, the arena shrinks, and the competition heats up like a summer barbecue. 🧪☢️
Battle Royale: Same Island, More Toys
Rebirth Island's graphical upgrades arrive in Battle Royale too, along with gameplay adjustments that expand tactical choices. The biggest crowd-pleaser? Respawn limits are gone. As long as a squad is not fully eliminated and the respawn timer conditions are met, players can keep redeploying. That means more chances to clutch, more chances to throw, and more chances to hear a teammate say, I was one shot, bro.

Events, Caches, and Titans — Oh My
Players can drop into Rebirth Island across DMZ: Recon and Battle Royale to complete tasks and earn Intelligence Ciphers, revealing the map and unlocking milestone rewards. These include Secret Caches, DMZ: Recon vouchers, a Charly operator variant, and the melee Axe — Canvassed. Not bad for a day's work.
The Godzilla x Kong event brings over a dozen rewards, including the ASM10 — Frost Bite Weapon Blueprint, Grinch — Rimebound Operator Skin, and the Legendary Purifier — Shimo's Might. Players complete tasks to earn Hollow Earth energy and use it to harness Godzilla, Kong, or Shimo in a special mini-game. It is basically a kaiju-themed sugar rush, and nobody is complaining.
Season 4 also lets players earn over 100 Secret Caches, which can help unlock the Legendary PP19 Bizon — Mayan Malediction or other goodies. Contribution Points exchange for Legendary and Mythic Cache Weapon Shards, including previously released Secret Cache weapons. Every week, a new region of the event map opens with fresh tasks and rewards, but those rewards are only available during that week. Miss it, and it is gone like free pizza at a LAN party. 🍕
Eternal Prison Battle Pass and Seasonal Store

The Challenge Pass offers Standard, Special, and Elite Missions; Tokens exchange for seasonal items like the epic AGR 556 — Orbital Station Weapon Blueprint and the new BR Class — Toxic Overload, which douses areas with radiation that slows and damages enemies.

Season 4 — Eternal Prison launched on April 22 at 5 PM PT. In 2026, the only question is whether players will extract like legends or go down in a blaze of radioactive fog. See you online, Operators. Try not to get tossed off the island like a sack of potatoes. 🦍🦖
