Instead of missing a year, Activision’s Call of Duty franchise business will certainly obtain a full-price, stand-alone video clip game this loss, Bloomberg reports — however it’ll be an extension of in 2015’s restarted Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier kept in mind in Thursday’s record that Activision’s prepare for the collection originally called for a “premium expansion” to Modern Warfare 2, instead of a complete brand-new game, at some point in 2023. This all returns to 2020, when growth problems relocated Treyarch’s kip down Call of Duty’s three-studio turning up a year, and also brought us Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War a year in advance of timetable. Activision-possessed Treyarch, Infinity Ward, and also Sledgehammer Games had actually divided manufacturing on the collection, on a three-year growth cycle, returning to 2014’s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Because of that work misstep, Activision initially intended to undergo 2023 without a mainline Call of Duty entry, pressing Treyarch’s following on a regular basis set up Call of Duty game to 2024. The paid development imagined for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is rather a “premium Call of Duty game” currently, according to an Activision speaker, with a single-player project and also brand-new multiplayer maps, Bloomberg claims.

The Call of Duty franchise business will certainly observe its 20th wedding anniversary in 2023. Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Sledgehammer, and also Activision Blizzard overall remain in wrapped up in a $68.7 billion attempted acquisition by Microsoft, introduced in 2015, that regulators in the United Kingdom, United States, and also European Union are holding up over antitrust problems.
