Every year, Activision releases a new Call of Duty title. With it being one of Activision’s biggest money makers, it’s nothing new, but in a recent investor call, Activision confirmed the release of more remastered games. Call of Duty is generally among the top selling video games of the year. These games can range from the Call of Duty series or the Crash Bandicoot series.
As usual, the game is slated to be released sometime in Autumn (October or November). Something new changed this year though. Activision would usually have three studios: Treyarch, Sledgehammer and Infinity Ward take turns making the new game each year. This upcoming year is supposed to be Sledgehammer’s but because of internal disagreements with Sledgehammer, Activision decided that Treyarch should make the new game. It’s an unprecedented move on Activision’s part of removing a studio whilst that studio is developing a new game.
With the speculations that Activision may remaster its old titles, it would give off some sort of freshness in the gaming world. Nowadays, game developers like to take content from other games and use them for their games. The gaming world doesn’t have that much unique titles like it once had. With the remastering of older titles, you would bring in some of that unique flavor that was lost. You would have games like Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Modern Warfare 2, both of which are fan favorites.
I think Michaela did a good job tying the title of blog with the actual story. A lot of times when you mention Call of Duty, it’s a lot of clickbait. The name Call of Duty holds so much weight in the gaming world, that people tend to use hashtags with the name, but it has absolutely nothing to do with it. It explains well for what the investor calls plan for next year was.
