Activision took both journalists and gamers by surprise. Since the beginning of this year, there have been rumors on the Internet that there will be no award next year (read paid) Call of Duty. However, in today’s third quarter earnings report, he confirmed the exact opposite.
“Activision looks to build on its current momentum in 2023, with plans for next year including the strongest live operations in Call of Duty. another full premium release in the annual blockbuster seriesand even more exciting free games across multiple platforms.” the company said.
Jason SchreierBloomberg journalist and Insider Gaming claim that 2023’s premium Call of Duty is actually an expansion for this year’s Modern Warfare 2.. That should be enough for Activision to sell it at full price, ie. for 70 dollars / euro.
He is supposed to be hiding from this new content. story campaign expansion from Sledgehammer Games. The authors of Call of Duty: Vanguard and WWII have a lot of content to prepare. Also talk about multiplayer content. In this case, they may be updated multiplayer maps from various classic Call of Duty releases to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary.
However, there is confusion over how Activision wants to present it to players who have bought Modern Warfare 2 this year. It looks like it will just be another installment with a single-player story campaign and multiplayer. But will players who don’t own Modern Warfare 2 be able to enjoy this new content? So that’s a question we don’t currently know the answer to.
Given that Modern Warfare 2 is the fastest-selling entry in the series ($800 million in the first three days, a billion dollars in 10 days), so it makes sense to release paid DLC when players are interested in such a CoD. The game broke the previous record set by Black Ops 2 in 2012. Sales of this game from Treyarch reached a billion dollars in 15 days.
The next big part of Call of Duty is due out in 2024. Development is said to be led by Treyarch, creator of Black Ops. This will go hand in hand with the unconfirmed information that CoD will no longer be released every year.
