Call of Duty: Mobile – Garena has officially launched “Faction Wars”. A female-fronted community campaign celebrating its ongoing crossover with HoYoverse‘s sci-fi RPG, Honkai Impact 3.
The campaign centers on three Herrscher-inspired factions Thunder, Flame, and Reason. Led by female creators from this season’s CODM Creator Launchpad Program. Players across the Philippines can align with their preferred faction ahead of the live offline finale on September 27, 2026, at Quantum Skyview, Gateway Mall 2.
Stand With Your Faction: The Road to the Final Showdown
The “Faction Wars” campaign draws inspiration from Honkai Impact 3’s iconic Valkyries and Herrscher-themed draws. Three emerging content creators from the CODM Creator Launchpad Program head the battle lines:
- Thunder Faction: Led by Sirila
- Flame Faction: Led by Amala
- Reason Faction: Led by Rekta
Players can join their preferred leader’s faction and watch their livestreams to earn exclusive in-game codes. Following intermediate score updates on September 21 and 23, players have until the final score check on September 25 to recruit members. The faction with the highest member count will win 10 general merchandise packages.
For the final showdown, each Faction Leader will team up with fellow creators from the Creator Launchpad Program—a five-year-old initiative that has empowered over 200 rising gaming creators—for Multiplayer (MP) and Battle Royale (BR) showmatches.
