The annual "Call of Duty" released "Call of Duty: Vanguard" this year, players are not completely satisfied with the game, some of its content lacks sincerity, and according to the well-known game journalist Tom Henderson, next year's "Call of Duty" new work has a complete 3-year development cycle, which will solve the problem of "Call of Duty: Vanguard" this year.
The 2022 Call of Duty is called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (also revealed by Tom Henderson), and this is not a remake of 2009's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but a reboot like 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
On Twitter, a Call of Duty fan expressed a pessimistic attitude towards Call of Duty in 2022, believing that the new game would be the same as this year's Pioneer, and then the well-known game journalist Tom Henderson refuted the fan's point of view in the comments, saying: "Is this talking about Modern Warfare 2? It's not necessarily that it's not necessarily without problems, but it will be the first Call of Duty game to truly have a full three-year development cycle, with no shelving or directional change. So there's still hope, haha. The only big issue is QA (Quality Assurance), which is something I hope to solve quickly. ”
Tom Henderson later added a little more to his guess that he didn't think the COVID-19 pandemic would have much of an impact on game development, the real problem was QA, and he learned that the DMZ model (a model borrowed from Escape from Tarkov) has been in development since 2018 and that its release time could be 4 to 5 years after development began.
According to him, the IW development team is confident about the new game, but QA is a big problem, call of duty: Warzone and Battlefield 2042 are both QA is not doing a good job, because working from home QA is difficult for developers.
Call of Duty: Vanguard isn't selling as well as the previous game in the series, and how next year's new Call of Duty reverses the decline in sales depends on Activision's next move.
