In mid-February, Activision Blizzard officially announced that its classic shooter call of duty will still launch a new game this year (2022), that is, the sequel to the rebooted version of "Modern Warfare" (2019) developed by the Infinity Ward team, the theoretical name should be "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", and "Call of Duty: Warzone 2" will also be launched!
The official addition to the game: Call of Duty: Warzone 2 will have massive changes with a new sandbox mode map. In addition, the old products Call of Duty: Vanguard and Call of Duty: Warzone did not stop updating, but ushered in the second season of updates and new passes. All of the above information seems to indicate that Call of Duty is still a New Year game series, so what new products will be available in 2023? What kind of new games will game studio Treyarch make?
The Call of Duty series, which has new titles almost every year, may have to take a little break next year (2023)! Earlier, the doctor noticed that Jason Schreier, a reporter from the well-known foreign media Bloomberg, broke the news that they had received news that Call of Duty broke the tradition for the first time in two decades, and Activision had postponed the product (2023) made by Treyarch to 2024!
In the game circle, product extensions are a very normal thing, but Call of Duty can not be scheduled to launch a sequel in 2023 or reveals a lot of information. First of all, Activision Blizzard has been acquired by Microsoft at a high price, which will inevitably have a certain impact on the company's strategy and structure. Even if rival EA's Battlefield 2042 hit the streets, Activision Blizzard is not eager to take advantage of the chase. Ensuring the high quality of the game has become the focus of research and development, rather than rushing to launch a skinned New Year product.
Secondly, the fact that there is no new work in 2023 does not mean that the development team is really resting, but that the above-mentioned Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone 2 have updates to be launched. Based on previous experience, after the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone in 2019, they were actually quite popular in 2020 and 2021, resulting in the sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in 2020 and Call of Duty: Vanguard in 2021 not meeting expectations.
Finally, the new 2021 call of duty: Vanguard, while still selling well, fell 36% in the UK (something similar has happened in other countries and regions). Activision executives believe that the frequency of one game a year may make players feel tired and reduce purchase interest, so it is normal to adjust the launch cycle of the series of products.
Of course, the above Doctor's analysis is based on Jason Schreier's revelations, but it is precisely because of the factors listed above that it feels normal for Call of Duty to have no sequel in 2023. In addition, Activision officially confirmed earlier that Call of Duty will provide a free-to-play (free download, paid props) experience this year (2022), and the life cycle of this game is generally very long, so it is really not necessary to launch a new game a year.
After personally experiencing Call of Duty: Vanguard, dr. Ph.D. felt that this was the World War II version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the basic gameplay and architecture were very similar, but the gunsmith system was enriched and some modes were added. Such a product is a bit of a cutting fan leek meaning, it is better not to launch.
